(Zingiberaceae) are primarily distributed from Indochina to western Malesia. Knowledge of the distribution of species of <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> is important for conservation and natural resource management. The objective of this review is to comprehensively summarise the morphological characteristics, distribution, ecology, diversity, and potential pharmacological effects of <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> species worldwide. The current study also provides a scientific reference for future applications by comprehensively reviewing the literature from 1892 to 2024 via several scientific databases, such as Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, and other online databases. A cluster analysis conducted on 12 species of <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> provides valuable insights into their morphological similarities and distribution patterns. <jats:italic>Conamomum cylindrostachys</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. flavidulum</jats:italic> have anther crests that are horned and 2‐lobed, contrasting with the horned and 3‐lobed anther crests observed in other <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> species. Regarding distribution, three species – <jats:italic>C. odorum</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>C. rubidum</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>C. Vietnamense</jats:italic> – are endemic to Vietnam, while <jats:italic>C. spiceum</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. flavidulum</jats:italic> are both endemic to Malaysia. A key to species of <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> based on the morphology is provided. Extracts and isolated compounds from <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> plants, mainly essential oils, have been assessed to possess numerous pharmacological properties, such as anti‐inflammatory, anti‐bacterial, anti‐fungal, anti‐larvicidal, and cytotoxic activities. This review provides valuable insights into the morphological, ecological, and pharmacological properties as well as the diversification of <jats:italic>Conamomum</jats:italic> and identifies the ecological adaptations specific to their habitat in this region. These findings are valuable resources for conservation efforts, sustainable utilization, and future studies.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we employed random sampling technique to investigate the floristic composition, natural history trait diversity and habitat distribution among 12 major forest types spread across an elevational gradient of 350–3450 m a.s.l. in the western Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir. We recorded 451 species belonging to 90 families in the study region, with herbaceous growth form, perennial life span and therophyte categories dominant. We observed a steady increase in species richness from 800 to 2000 m a.s.l., with highest at 1750 m a.s.l. in the Himalayan dry temperate forest type and then a decreasing trend with elevation. In terms of species turnover, the lowest dissimilarity of 36.8% was found between the Himalayan dry temperate and Fir forests. Whereas, considering species replacement (β<jats:sub>sne</jats:sub>), the highest similarity of 17.3% was found between the lower western Himalayan and Himalayan dry temperate forests. This shows that beta‐diversity patterns between different forest types are mostly driven by species replacement. Multivariate analysis revealed three major groups in the entire forest species pool. Habitat‐wise, 34% species were recorded in the natural habitats, while the remaining 66% were found in human‐modified habitats (roadsides, piospheres). Our findings will improve scientific understanding of the forest vegetation of this Himalayan region and help in guiding forest policy and management.","PeriodicalId":54716,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Botany","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
