Origin & Breeding History: 'MCGHIEJCG' originated as a discovery of a mutant attached to a stool of lesser galangal, Alpinia officanarum plant rhizome, in a cultivated field in the town of Bog Walk in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica West Indies in May 2011. It was asexually reproduced by stem cuttings at the nursery in Bog Walk and since then, three generations of new plants were reproduced. The selection criteria include consistent, stable, healthy and vigorous growth characteristics as well as disease and pest resistance.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'MCGHIEJCG' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2014/2102, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted at the Variety Center at the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2016.
