Abstract

Two new species of Zingiber viz. Z. cornigrum and Z. campanulatum from Arunachal Pradesh, North-East India are described. In addition to morphology, data from anatomy, pollen morphology and molecular biology are also used. A key to the Zingiber Sect. Cryptanthium from Northeastern India is provided.

Keyword: Anatomy, ITS gene, Palynology, Sect. Cryptanthium, Zingiber cornigerum, Zingiber campanulatum
