Let's Protect Our Nature: Philippine Camia

Found in forests above 2,000 feet, the Philippine camia (Hedychium philippinense) is an epiphytic herbaceous plant sometimes referred to as white ginger. It has up to three stems ending with a cluster of four-petalled white flowers with a pale yellow hue at the center. They are strongly fragrant and are often used in perfumery. After flowering, Philippine camia bears three-sided capsule-like seed pods which are orange in color with dark-red seeds. They are commonly cultivated in the Philippines and other tropical countries.
