In the last three years or so, many new Kaempferia spp have FINALLY been published. There are still several waiting their turn like this one. Originally I was calling it Red Knight because a very similar introduction had the same name. However, they have VERY different flowers and are definitely not the same species. Both are new and unpublished, and amazing come from the same small area in Thailand. This one has K. rotunda like blooms, and the Red Knight one has pure white flowers (different shape and size etc.). I have a couple with almost all red leaves and hope to get some solids next year after selfing them.
