Description: General information and classification.
Hedychium horsfieldii {Zingiberaceae} The chief ornamental feature of this plant is the spectacular and reliably produced display of seed pods. The display of seed is reliable because Hedychium horsfieldii is chasmogamous, that is, the flowers pollinate themselves even before the flower opens. So there is always heavy seed set even under less than ideal growing conditions. The fruits ripen greenish-yellow and then split open to reveal orange ovary walls and masses of seed enclosed in bright red arils. This colour combination is typical Hedychium but it is the size and sheer number of fruits that makes Hedychium horsfieldii such a rewarding plant to grow.
