Researchers from Mizoram and Kerala have identified a new plant variety, a wild relative of the edible ginger from Mizoram.
The plant is of the species Zingiber neotruncatum but has unique traits which has prompted the researchers to report it as a distinct variety. Spotted in Aizawl and Mamit districts, it has been named Zingiber neotruncatum var. ramsawmii.
