Looks like this app can't help much. I was testing out the response but taking too long. The plant I found out from other app is called kaempferia pulchra, a type under the ginger family (Zingiberaceae family)

Most of the ambassadors named are in the uk so they may well have been asleep

This plant habitat is limestone caves. Someone gave it to me more than 20 years ago. I found out its natural habitat when I bought a book on gingers and a good friend informed me too. Somehow it does well in my garden. Snails and slugs love it. Fortunately they only eat its leaves and not its tuber. For safety, I have propagated it in another pot. Luck was with me, somehow it spread to my garden. So now I have a precious collection of it.
