Abstract:A new species of Amomum Roxb. from Sarawak is described. Amomum bungoensis S. Aimi Syazana & Meekiong, sp. nov., shows similarity with A. durum S. Sakai and Nagamasu by having similar fruit characteristics but differs in labellum and anther crest of the flowers. Detailed description and photographs are provided.
“…Hence, there is a need to revise the taxonomy classification of the family Zingiberaceae to correctly place all newly identified species under their correct tribes and subfamilies. For instance, two new species of Zingiberaceae: Amomum bungoensis and Sundamomum corrugatum, have been reported in Malaysia (Mohamad et al, 2020;Syazana et al, 2018). Another new Zingiberaceae species: Etlingera terengganuensis is an endemic species to Terengganu and was discovered in the year 2000 (Khaw, 2001;Lim, 2000) and 11 new species of Zingiberaceae from the genus Scaphochlamys: Scaphochlamys durga, Scaphochlamys hasta, Scaphochlamys n i g r a , S c a p h o c h l a m y s u n i f l o r a , Scaphochlamys multifolia, Scaphochlamys lucens, Scaphochlamys lanjakensis, Scaphochlamys penyama, Scaphochlamys graveolens, Scaphochlamys scintillans, and Scaphochlamys peuedoreticosa have been investigated in Borneo (Im Hin et al, 2017).…”
Zingiberaceae is widely distributed in Malaysia, with 750 species and 31 genera. This family comprises a different number of subfamilies and genera according to different taxonomic classification methods — classical taxonomy: one subfamily and four tribes vs molecular taxonomy: four subfamilies and six tribes. However, the taxonomic classification of Zingiberaceae is still debated, especially the classical taxonomy. It is due to some Zingiberaceae species showing cryptic morphologies that make it difficult to classify them through classical taxonomy, which refers to the unique morphological characteristics of a tribe/species. Therefore, accurate taxonomic classification is required by using a molecular approach. In this study, 20 selected species of Zingiberaceae collected from the Agricultural Conservatory Park, Institute of Bioscience (IBS), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) were taxonomically classified using a molecular method with the help of three random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and three inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers until the tribe level. The combined RAPD and ISSR unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) phylogenetic tree was comparable to Zingiberaceae’s current molecular and classical taxonomy. The 20 selected species were grouped into three tribes (Alpinieae, Zingiberaceae, and Globbeae). This finding has contributed additional biological information to better manage the 20 Zingiberaceae species in the Agricultural Conservatory Park, IBS, UPM. Further studies are needed to explore the genetic diversities and properties of Zingiberaceae species.

“…Famili Zingiberaceae banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat untuk obat gangguan pencernaan, kulit dan antioksidan (Kress et al, 2005;Saensouk & Saensouk, 2021;Chen et al, 2008). Selain itu, menurut Syazana et al, (2018) famili Zingiberaceae mengandung zat aktif dalam dapat membunuh bakteri dan jamur, sehingga dapat berfungsi untuk antimikroba. Tidak hanya itu, famili Zingiberaceae banyak dimanfaatkan sebagai bumbu dapur (Jalil, 2019).…”
Tigo luhah tanah sekudung is an indigenous area located in the Siulak area of Kerinci Regency. The indigenous people of Tigo Luhah Tanah Sekudung have knowledge in traditional medicine. In addition, along with the development of modern medicine, the traditional medicine tradition of Tgo Luhah Tanah Sekudung indigenous people has not been inventoried. The purpose of this study was to determine the type of medicinal plants in the indigenous people of tigo luhah tanah sekudung Siulak, Kerinci Regency.

Local Names Gadang (Igorot), Tugis (Bisaya) (Dalisay et al. 2018) Botany Description Plants belonging to Zingiberaceae may be identified through microscopic structures made of silica which are found between cells and tissues called phytoliths. Briefly, they exhibit "druse, trough and hat-shape phytoliths" in vegetative parts (Chen and Smith 2013; Lamxay 2011). According to Holttum (1996, as cited by Aimi Syazana et al. 2018), the species exhibit unique characteristics such as elongated pseudostem
