Abstract
Two new species of Kaempferia L. (Zingiberaceae) from Thailand consisting of Kaempferia maculifolia Boonma & Saensouk sp. nov. and Kaempferia takensis Boonma & Saensouk sp. nov. are described, illustrated, and photographed. The conservation status is provided for both new species. An identification key to the species of the Kaempferia genus in Thailand is also revised and presented.
