ABSTRACT = {A new species, Hedychium champasakense (Zingiberaceae), from Southern Laos is described and illustrated. It can be easily differentiated from its closest taxon, H. speciosum Wall., by its elliptic leaves, longer ligules with shallowly bilobe apices, the calyx tubes being shorter than the bract, the lanceolate-oblong or spathulate staminodes with the acute to rounded apices, and the sub-orbicular to orbicular labella with the 2-clefted apeces and the short claws. The relationship with other related species is also discussed.},
