Kaempferia is a genus of plants in the ginger family. It is native to China, India, and Southeast Asia.[1][2][3]
The genus is named after the naturalist and traveller Engelbert Kaempfer, who lived in Japan and east Asia for the years 1689-1693 and was one of the first Europeans to write detailed descriptions of plants there.
