    Abstract

    A new species of the genus Stahlianthus (Zingiberaceae) from northeastern Thailand, Stahlianthus pedicelatus A. Chaveerach & P. Mokkamul is described and illustrated. It is closely related to S. involucratus (King) Craib ex Loes., but differs in several characters. The distinctive characters which are different from the closely related species are pseudostems produced after inflorescence withering, flowering in dry season with 1 or 2 small reduced laminas, and labellum white at apex and yellow with a red blotch at base.
