Abstract

Kaempferia siphonantha Baker described from the Andaman lslands more than a century ago on critical studies proved to be a Boesenbergia and hence a new combination, B. siphonantha (Baker) M. Sabu, Prasanthkumar et Skornickova, is proposed. A detailed description based on new collections is provided with analytical sketches and key to the species of Boesenbergia in the lsland. The view that the genus Curcumorpha A. S. Rao & D. M.Verma is synonymous to Boesenbergia is supported.
