Back in 2007, a friend suggested that the ID for this Earth ginger should be Etlingera coccinea. However, I wasn't so convinced as it didn't really looked like those I googled. But I didn't any good reference books on Gingers, so I excepted what he proposed.
Finally Axel help to ID as E. megalocheilos which looks more close & agreeable to me. :)
