Abstract

A new plant variety of the Zingerberacae family resulting from a discovery of a mutant attached to a stool (mat) of ‘McghieJCG’ (Alpinia officinarum) in a cultivated field and subsequently asexually reproduced from stem cuttings. The most distinguishing characteristics of this new variety is the pattern-gene fishbone leaf variegation and the pungent cinnamon fragrance and flavor of its leaves (tea). The new variety has valuable commercial potential and excellent post harvest prospects.
