Kahili ginger, Hedychium gardnerianum, is an ornamental plant that escaped cultivation and has become one of the worst invasive species in Hawaii's forests. It is also recognized as one of the "world's 100 worst invasive alien species" by the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG). Hedychium gardnerianum is native to Asia.
