Phytotelmatrichis, gen. n. a new genus of Ptiliidae: Acrotrichinae with two species Phytotelmatrichis peruviensis sp. n. and Phytotelmatrichis osopaddington sp. n. is described and illustrated. The new species were found during a survey of insects in the aquatic environments that form in the hollows (phytotelmata) in the leaves and floral bracts of Zingiberales plants. The new taxa were found i...

Here, we report the complete genome sequences of three Ralstonia solanacearum strains isolated from Zingiberaceae plants in Japan. The total sizes these ranged 5.87 to 6.05 Mb. Strains MAFF 211472, 211479, and 311693 each carried one chromosome megaplasmid. contained an additional 71.9-kb plasmid.

Meistera aculeata (Roxb.) Škorničk. & M.F.Newman (Zingiberaceae, subfamily - Alpinioideae) a lesser known species, has been located from the Palakkad (Palghat) Gap region in Walayar Hill ranges of southern Western Ghats and reported here as an addition to flora Kerala. A detailed taxonomic description along with photographs are provided.

In this paper, detailed meiotic analysis was investigated in seven species of Curcuma (Linnaeus, 1753) which can contribute significantly to our understanding about species inter-relationship, speciation and evolution. The species were divided into two groups viz., Group I having 2n = 42 (C. comosa Roxburgh, 1810, C. haritha Mangaly & M.Sabu, 1993, C. mangga Valeton & Zijp, 1917, and C. motana ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flexistyly is a sexual dimorphism where there are two morphs that differ in the temporal expression of sexual function and also involve reciprocal movement of the stigmatic surface through a vertical axis during the flowering period. The adaptive significance of flexistyly has been interpreted as a floral mechanism for outcrossing, but it may also function to reduce sexual i...

Zingiberaceae is widely distributed in Malaysia, with 750 species and 31 genera. This family comprises a different number of subfamilies genera according to taxonomic classification methods — classical taxonomy: one subfamily four tribes vs molecular six tribes. However, the still debated, especially taxonomy. It due some showing cryptic morphologies that make it difficult classify them through...
