Alpinia nieuwenhuizii, also known as lalemas or terebak, is a perennial tropical forest herb in the ginger family that is native to Borneo. It grows up to 2-3.5 meters in height and has leafy shoots that grow from branching rhizomes. The inflorescence is a panicle of white, red, and cream flowers, and the fruits are round and edible, turning from green or red to yellow when ripe. This species is typically found in lowland and mixed dipterocarp forests, as well as secondary forests, at elevations of up to 1,000 meters. While it is rarely cultivated, the fruits are consumed by hunter-gatherers and the shoots can be eaten as a vegetable.
