title: Malvidin 3-rutinoside as the pigment responsible for bract color in Curcuma alismatifolia.
abstract: Malvidin 3-rutinoside was the only anthocyanin identified from pink bracts of Curcuma alismatifolia cultivars. The concentration of malvidin 3-rutinoside in three cultivars increased as the intensity of the pink color in the bracts increased.
