Abstract. Ragsasilp A, Saensouk P, Saensouk S. 2022. Ginger family from Bueng Kan Province, Thailand: Diversity, conservation status, and traditional uses. Biodiversitas 23: 2739-2753. The objective of this study was to determine the diversity, conservation status, and traditional uses of Zingiberaceae in Bueng Kan Province, Thailand. The family Zingiberaceae was collected during field surveys in Bueng Kan Province, northeastern Thailand between January and December 2021. Three tribes, 13 genera, and 67 species of Zingiberaceae were found. The genera with the highest diversity were Curcuma (12 species), Zingiber (11 species), Globba (10 species), Alpinia (eight species), Kaempferia (seven species), Amomum (six species), Caulokaempferia (four species), Boesenbergia (three species), Gagnepainia (two species), Etlingera (one species), Hedychium (one species), Meistera (one species) and Wurfbainia (one species). Bung Khla district was found to have the most diverse species in this family with 64 species. The family was discovered in five ecosystem types, deciduous dipterocarp forest (20 species), mixed deciduous forest (21 species), dry evergreen forest (20 species), river basin (two species), and cultivated in home gardens (24 species). There were 41 native species found (62.68%), while 16 species (23.88%) were recognized as being cultivated in home gardens. The highest phenology rate was recorded from March to September. Thirty-eight species were reported to have the conservation status as rare species. Twenty-eight species were recognized as common species. Nine species, namely Alpinia macrostaminodia, Amomum biphyllum, A. wandokthong, Globba laeta, Boesenbergia baimaii, Caulokaempferia jirawongsei, Ca. Phutonkensis, Ca. phuwoaensis and Ca. phulangkaensis were recorded as endemic species to Thailand. Moreover, A. macrostaminodia, A. biphyllum, A. monophyllum, C. jirawongsei, Ca. phutokensis, Ca. phuwoaensis and Curcuma pygmaea, were found only in Bueng Kan Province, Thailand. This study reported nine species to be rare plants in Bueng Kan Province. Twenty-nine species of the family Zingiberaceae from Bueng Kan Province were presented in IUCN (2022): CR (1 species), DD (9 species), EN (2 species) LC (16 species), NT (1 species). The Zingiberaceae in Bueng Kan Province had popular uses as food, spice, rituals, and ornamentals. For the medicinal use of Zingiberaceae in this study, they were in relation to flatulence, laxative, diuretic, stomachache, treatment of inguinal hernia, uterine involution, antipruritic, cosmetic, skin disease, carminative, antiflatulent, intoxication, and tonic. In Thailand, 42 species of Zingiberaceae are reported for the first time to have traditional uses. Therefore, the information on the diversity, conservation status, and traditional uses are important as biological resources of the Zingiberaceae in Bueng Kan Province, Thailand.

“…The greatest diversity of Kaempferia plants occurs in tropical Asia [16]. In Thailand, 31 species of the genus Kaempferia were recorded [17][18][19][20][21]. The rhizome of Kaempferia plants was used in ethnomedicinal recipes for treating several diseases such as diarrhea, inflammation, leukorrhea, pneumonia and skin disease [22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Introduction: K. larsenii (Zingiberaceae) is an endemic and rare species in Thailand. There have been no previous reports on chemical compositions and biological properties of essential oils from the fresh root and rhizome. This research aims to investigate the chemical compositions, antimicrobial and radical scavenging activities of essential oils from the fresh root and rhizome of K. larsenii. Materials and methods: The chemical compositions of hydrodistilled essential oils were analysed by GC-MS technique. The antimicrobial activity was tested by the disc diffusion assay. The Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were also evaluated. The radical scavenging activities were evaluated using ABTS, DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity assay. Results and discussion: Camphene was considered as the main component in root and rhizome essential oils (36.35 and 48.00 %, respectively). The essential oils showed strong antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. The rhizome essential oil showed strong DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities while the root essential oil exhibited strong hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity. Conclusions: The essential oils exhibit strong antimicrobial especially Gram-positive bacteria and antioxidant activity. Therefore, it might be used as a potential source of natural antidiarrheal and antioxidant substances for food and cosmeceutical product industries. HIGHLIGHTS The essential oils were obtained from hydrodistillation of the fresh root and rhizome of K. larsenii Camphene was the major component in both root and rhizome essential oils The root and rhizome essential oils showed strong antimicrobial on Gram-positive bacteria and radical scavenging activities This is the first report on the biological activities of the fresh root and rhizome essential oils of larsenii GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract. Boonma T, Saensouk S, Saensouk P. 2022. Kaempferia sipraiana (Zingiberaceae), a new species from Thailand and a new record of Kaempferia pseudoparviflora for Myanmar. Biodiversitas 23: 2203-2211. Kaempferia sipraiana Boonma & Saensouk, a new species of Kaempferia subgenus Protanthium (Zingiberaceae) from northern Thailand and K. pseudoparviflora Saensouk P. & Saensouk, a new record species of Kaempferia subgenus Kaempferia for Myanmar are described, illustrated, and photographed. The dominant characters of Kaempferia sipraiana were leaves narrowly elliptic, green with short white stripes arranged parallel along the leaf edges, between the midrib and both sides of the edges, apex acuminate with slightly mucronate, base attenuate-oblique; peduncle glabrous; bracts apex mucronate, glabrous, red with dark red veins; bracteoles glabrous; floral tube shorter than calyx; calyx glabrous; staminodes oblanceolate, apex 3-lobes like curly brackets; labellum white at the base with pinkish purple in the middle gradually fade to pale pink and to reach to white tip and edge respectively, apex 3-lobes like curly brackets, each lobe 3.0–3.3 cm long; apex 4 lobes, outer lobes acute, inner lobes obtuse rarely combined to truncate; stigma with pink lips. The dominant characters of K. pseudoparviflora were one leaf and dark green with light grey markings, the inflorescence looks like inflorescence of K. parviflora. The information on vernacular name, distribution, phenology, ecology, conservation status, specimens examined, and an identification key to both species of Kaempferia in Thailand is revised and presented.
