Viewers of this website
are encouraged to help us fill
in the photos for missing species. HSI is trying to build
up a database of Zingiberales images as long as they
areproperly identified and credit is given to the
photographer. Other information such as where and
when the photo was taken is also useful. Photos or
good quality digital images may be mailed to Ray
Baker, Lyon Arboretum, 3860 Manoa Road, Honolulu,

over the internet. We are happy to reciprocate if you
need images yourselves.
