Abstract
Four new Curcuma species (Zingiberaceae) from Thailand are described here. Curcuma fimbriata, C. micrantha and C. spathulata belong to C. subg. Hitcheniopsis, while C. globulifera belongs to the nominal C. subg. Curcuma. Each species is compared to the morphologically closest species and detailed descriptions, colour plates and information on their distribution, ecology, phenology and uses are provided. A preliminary IUCN conservation assessment of each of these species is proposed.
期刊介绍:
An international electronic-only journal on the biodiversity, evolution and biogeography of plants (systematics,
floristics, phylogeny, morphology, anatomy). For floristic studies, the focus is on tropical Africa south of the
Sahara; tropical Southeast Asia with a strong emphasis on Malesia; South America with emphasis on the
Guianas. The language is English.
