Zingibar officinale

Like the Zingibar spectabile, the Zingibar officinale inflorescence is composed of a bract from which the tiny yellow orchid-like flowers grow (sans the purple spots like the other species). These are currently growing in my garden. The bracts are soft to touch and have a vaguely aromatic scent.
