Renealmia

Renealmia is a plant genus in the family Zingiberaceae. Its members are native to tropical Africa and tropical America (Latin America and the West Indies).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In Peru, fruits and tubers are sources of indigenous dyes.[8] and indigenous medical treatments for leishmania and malaria[9] In Colombia, it is used to treat snakebite.[10] Bracts and leaves can serve as phytotelmata, retaining small quantities of water that offer habitat for other organisms.[11][12]
