}}Etlingera maingayi, also known as Malay rose,[1] is a species of herbaceous perennial plant{{citation needed|date=February 2010}} of the Zingiberaceae family. This species occurs in southern Thailand, where its flowers are eaten as vegetables, and Malaysia.[2] DescriptionEtlingera maingayi grows to less than {{convert|2|m|abbr=on}} high.[3] Its leaves are variable, with undulating fringes, and emit a sour scent when crushed.[4] Young leaves are translucent and reddish on both sides.[2]ChemistryLeaves of E. maingayi displayed ferrous ion chelating ability and lipid peroxidation inhibition activity that were much higher than young leaves of Camellia sinensis.[4] Leaves of E. maingayi had the highest yield of oil (1320 mg/100 g) consisting mainly of lauric acid (45%) and decanoic acid (43%). The unpleasant sour scent of leaves when crushed may be due to these two acids.
