    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    There seems to be some confusion about what species Emerald Chocozebra is but I believe I have it correctly identified as a hybrid between rhabdota and harmandii. There is no confusion about the beauty of this Curcuma. It has a bract color of yellow/green with base highlights of a rich chocolate with candy cane like striping. It is truly unique and especially pleasing in a container.
