Wildflower ID2

This flower, I found at Mangalore (on Wikimapia), India.
The plant grows on slopes; flowers bloom perhaps during monsoon.

Thank you.

 

HI I BELIEVE THE FLOWER IS IN THE ORCHID FAMILY. TRY TO RESEARCH IT TO MANY PHOTOS. EITHER SEARCH THE INTERENT OR TRY: the orchid place (singapore) or www.orchidwire.com click on alphabetical, then letter of the alphabet. there are many sites listed. good luck

 

Thanks very much, mailgirl, for the orchids' link. I will check out.

 

You Ar Welcome Hope You Find It. Mailgirl

 

I have my doubts that it is an orchid - Gesneriaceae? I'm away from all my resources while on my trip, sorry.

 

Thanks Daniel. It may/may not be orchid. I have a feeling it may belong to ginger family and could be related to cardamom (may not be botanically, though).

 

Thanks to all ... the plant is identified to be Curcuma karnatakensis.
Dr. Mamiyil Sabu of http://www.gingersofindia.com/ helped identification.
