Zingiber mioga / Myouga ミョウガ

 
Zingiber mioga: A perennial, thought to be introduced from China, grows in the wild and is cultivated in the shade of a tree where people reside nearby. Rhizomes with scaly leaves crawl sideways, and pseudostems are annual and erect and 40-100cm in height. Blades are lanceolate to narrow oblong, 20-30cm long, and 3-6cm wide, with sharply pointed tips, bases with short peduncles, and pseudostems made by overlapping leaf sheaths. Flowers come out from one to another and wilt in a day. Bloom time: August-October.
