Etlingera elatior (also known as Torch Ginger, Ginger Flower, Red Ginger Lily, Torch Lily, Wild Ginger, Combrang, Bunga Siantan, Philippine Wax Flower, Xiang Bao Jiaing, Indonesian Tall Ginger, Boca de Dragón, Rose de Porcelaine, Porcelain Rose) is a species of herbaceous perennial plant. Botanical synonyms include Nicolaia elatior, Phaeomeria magnifica, Nicolaia speciosa, Phaeomeria speciosa, Alpinia elatior, Alpinia magnifica.
The showy pink flowers are used in decorative arrangements while the flower buds are an important ingredient in the Nonya dish laksa. In North Sumatra, the flower buds are used for a dish called arsik ikan mas (Andaliman/Szechuan pepper Spiced Carp)
It is known in Indonesian as bunga kecombrang or honje, Malay as bunga kantan and Thai as daalaa.
In Karo, it is known as asam cekala (asam meaning 'sour'), and the flower buds, but more importantly the ripe seed pods, which are packed with small black seeds, are an essential ingredient of the Karo version of sayur asam, and are particularly suited to cooking fresh fish.

Over 500 people, hailing from as far as Petaluma, Davis and San Jose, gathered at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, CA on Sunday, November 18, 2007 for the "Dream for Darfur Rally, Symbolic Torch, and Die-in."
Nineteen news outlets, including NBC, ABC, and CBS local affiliates, as well as The Oakland Tribune (in a front-page spread) provided media coverage, which highlighted China’s continuing sponsorship of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.

Survivors and descendants of victims of 20th century genocides, Roxanne Makasdjian (Armenian genocide), Peter Li (Nanjing), Dr. Steven Sloan (The Holocaust), Alen Krajcin (Bosnia), Willis Shalita (Bosnia) and Samuel Garang Akau (Southern Sudan) led 100 participants in a torch walk. They handed a symbolic Olympic torch from
one to the next and finally to Mohamed Suleiman, a Darfuri, who carried the torch to the stage.
The Honorable Barbara Lee (U.S. House of Rep., CA-9th District) delivered a rousing keynote speech urging the U.S. Government to take effective and prompt action to end the Darfur genocide. Danny Glover, acclaimed actor and human rights activist, highlighted the crisis in the Congo. Nikki Serapio (Director, Americans Against the Darfur Genocide (http:///www.OurPledge.org) and SF Bay Area Darfur Coalition member) directed his remarks to China and to Sudan President Al-Bashir, highlighting Bashir’s latest obstruction of plans to deploy peacekeepers to Darfur. Rabbi Lee Bycel (Executive Director, Western Region, AJWS) led participants in a very moving die-in. And, Rabbi Henry Shreibman as the Master of Ceremonies inspired the crowd to ratchet up their activism.
Mohamed Suleiman spoke to China on behalf of the people of Darfur: "...my people ...have nothing but nightmare for the fifth consecutive year. They ask me questions I can not answer. ... Why is China giving money to Al-Bashir’s government for oil when China knows he is committing genocide against us? Why does China supply arms and military aircraft while it knows Al-Bashir will use them against us? For more than four years we held high hopes that the UN Security Council would protect us from the atrocities of Al-Bashir and his Janjaweed. Why does China always stand in the way of these resolutions and protect the killers in Khartoum? ... My people are really asking the big question: is there anyone who can make China stop killing us?"
