“…The plant collected with flowers from the bank of the Sekmai River, Kakching Khullen, Manipur, India during July 2015 and maintained in the Botanical Garden of the Department of Life Sciences, Manipur University was compared with the published literature on south and southeast Asian Curcuma, various regional floras and many other relevant revisions especially in the subg. Curcuma (Baker 1890, Karthikeyan et al 1989, Rao and Verma 1972, Jain and Prakash 1995, Wu and Larsen 2000, Sabu 2006, Škorničková 2007). The specimen was also compared with herbarium specimens available in ASSAM, CAL and LWG.…”

“…However, present day India has 88 species under 19 genera of Zingiberaceae (Prakash and Mehrotra 1996). In India, Curcuma is represented by 42 species (Sasikumar 2005, Sabu 2006, Syamkumar and Sasikumar 2007, Leong-Škorničková et al 2010, 2015, Sharma et al 2011, Daimei and Kumar 2014, Velayudhan 2016) with a maximum of 22 species represented in south India and 12 species from northeast India. Of these 42 species, only one belongs to C. subg.…”

Curcuma kakchingense Bidyaleima, Kishor & Sharma, a new species of Curcuma subg. Curcuma (Zingiberaceae) from Manipur, northeast India is described and illustrated. The species has close resemblance to C. phrayawan and C. longa but is distinguished by having lemon‐yellow coloured rhizomes with a very bitter taste, glabrous dark reddish‐brown bladeless sheaths, reddish‐brown petiole fading towards the edges, densely pubescent coma and upper fertile bracts on both surfaces with mucronate tip, broadly ovate bracteole, elongated and revolute apex of the middle lobe of the labellum and stigma protruding through the anther lobes. The chromosome number is established as 2n = 3x = 63.

Chronic diseases are the major cause of death worldwide and its incidence increases day by day due to lifestyle as well as environmental factors. The present study carried out the screening of bioactive compounds present in Alpinia purpurata flower extract by using Gas Chromatography -Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). Plants with their medicinal properties play an important role in food and pharmaceutical industry, one such asset of nature is Alpinia purpurata an ancient ayurvedic herb belonging to Zingiberecia family that is known for its cardioprotective due to presence of various polyphenolic compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins and glycosides. The present study mainly focused on the screening of bioactive compounds present in Alpinia purpurata flower extract using GC-MS investigation. Twenty four compounds were identified and they were capable of various pharmacological activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-arthritic etc. This study will provide future directions in the field of development of food products using Alpinia purpurata flower extract.

“…Zingiberaceae is a family of plants with the largest amount of members of the order Zingiberales (Kress et al 2002;Pedersen 2004) spread throughout the Indo-Malay region and consist of about 52 genera and 1200 species (Sabu 2006). Most members of this family are used in spices, vegetables, nutraceuticals, and traditional medicine (Kala 2005;Tushar et al 2010;Zakaria et al 2011).…”

Zingiber loerzingii Valeton is one of the species in the Zingiberaceae family found throughout Aceh and North Sumatra, Indonesia, with slimy flowers, yellowish white color, and dark orange stamens. Z. loerzingii is endemic in North Sumatra with a very limited distribution. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources classifies this plant into the vulnerable ones category. This study aims to examine the potential of DNA barcoding from nuclear DNA (ITS2) and DNA chloroplasts (rbcL and trnL-F) to identify Z. loerzingii plants. The research sample was obtained from two main distribution areas of Z. loerzingii in North Sumatra, Indonesia, namely Sibolangit Nature Reserve and Tangkahan Conservation Forest. The results showed that all the DNA barcode markers used were able to classify Z. loerzingii into the same group in the phylogenetic analysis. ITS marker is the most effective marker for classifying Zingiberaceae species compared to rbcL and trnL-F markers. The ITS2 marker has the lowest level of intraspecific and intraspecific genetic distance overlap compared to the rbcL and trnL-F markers. This research is expected to provide information related to the DNA barcode of Z. loerzingii in an effort to conserve this rare plant.
