“…The chloroplast trnK/matK region was amplified in short sections using primers from Leong‐Škorničková & al. (: table 2) in 50 μl volumes and mix as follows: 24.25 μl of dH 2 O; 5 μl of 10× PCR buffer; 5 μl of 25 mM MgCl 2 ; 4 μl of 10 mM dNTP; 0.5 μl of 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA); 5 μl of 5 mM tetramethylammonium chloride (TMACl); 0.5 μl each of 10 mM forward and reverse primers; 0.25 μl Kapa Taq; and 5 μl of DNA. The PCR thermal profile for the trnK/matK region was set under initial denaturation at 95°C for 5 min, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, primer annealing from 50°C–60°C for 40 s, and DNA strand extension at 72°C for 1 min with a final extension of 7 min at 72°C.…”

In 1909, Ridley published Adelmeria characterized by its congested terminal inflorescence with large persistent floral bracts. All five species at some point placed in Adelmeria were synonymized in Alpinia by Loesener and subsequent authors. Several phylogenetic studies revealed that Alpinia is highly polyphyletic, suggesting that it should be split into several genera. In the present study, we sampled all five species initially placed in Adelmeria plus additional ones with a similar morphology. The combined analysis of the ITS and trnK/matK regions showed that these species formed a strongly supported monophyletic group inside the Alpinia eubractea clade of the tribe Alpinieae. Although not completely diagnostic, the following morphological characters separate Adelmeria from most of the species currently inside the Alpinia eubractea clade: bilobed ligules; congested inflorescences; utricular bracteoles; sessile flowers; crestless anthers; obovoid fruits. Considering this molecular and morphological evidence, the recognition of Adelmeria is highly justified. In this present paper, we reinstate the genus which is endemic to the Philippines and provide a comprehensive taxonomic revision including a discussion of the application of the name Elmeria. A key to nine species of Adelmeria, four of which (A. dicranochila, A. isarogensis, A. leonardoi, A. undulata) are new to science, is provided as well as full descriptions and preliminary conservation assessments. Interestingly, monoecy was observed in A. oblonga and reported for the first time for Adelmeria. Four lectotypes and one epitype are designated in this study.

“…To extrapolate consistency, homoplasy and retention indices, intrafamiliar relationships were established based on the following studies: Cannaceae (Prince, 2010), Costaceae (Specht, 2006), Marantaceae (Prince and Kress, 2006), Musaceae (Liu et al , 2010), Strelitziaceae (Cron et al , 2012), Zingiberaceae (Wood et al , 2000; Kress et al , 2002, 2007; Leong-Škorničková et al, 2011). …”

The banana and ginger group, order Zingiberales, comprises of exceptionally diverse, primarily tropical, plants. Within Zingiberales, the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) is unique in being not only the most species-rich but also the most disparate in terms of their morphology and anatomy, and the only group with a substantial number of species in temperate environments. Multiple radiations into temperate habitats were found to not be driven by morphological change, but instead may point to a genetic plasticity in the family that provided opportunities for speciation events not found anywhere else in the order.

“…Here, new taxa are continuously being discovered and named, both at the generic and specific levels. Several of the recent discoveries were further supported by the phylogenetic analyses which give a better understanding of the evolutionary relationships within the family (Kress and Larsen 2001; Kress et al 2010; Leong-Škorničková et al 2011). During the revision of the genus Scaphochlamys throughout its entire geographical range by the first author, some distinctive morphological traits were observed in several Bornean species, suggesting they might represent a separate group from the Peninsular Malaysian taxa.…”

A new genus from Borneo, Borneocola Y.Y.Sam, is described here. The genus currently contains eight species previously classified as members of the Scaphochlamys Baker. The finding is based on the results of the morphological and molecular studies of Scaphochlamys throughout its geographical range and its closely allied sister groups, Distichochlamys M.F.Newman and Myxochlamys A.Takano & Nagam. Borneocola is nested within the tribe Zingibereae and its monophyly is strongly supported by both ITS and matK sequence data. The genus is characterised by several thin, translucent and marcescent floral bracts, absence of coloured streaks on the labellum and capitate stigma with two dorsal knobs. The genus is distributed in northwest Borneo and all species are very rare and highly endemic.
