SummaryZingiber (Zingiberaceae: Zingibereae) is an economically important but taxonomically difficult genus, with names frequently misapplied. Here, we thoroughly review all names corresponding to the currently recognised 54 species from China including their synonyms, and clarify the status of their types. Lectotypes are designated for 40 names (including one second‐step), neotypes for 3 names, and epitypes for 3 names. Additional and often uncited isotypes have been discovered for numerous names, and such additional records are here provided. Tupistra bambusifolia var. rubromaculosa, Z. simaoense, Z. confine and Z. larsenii are newly treated as synonyms of Z. atrorubens, Z. densissimum, Z. officinale and Z. recurvatum respectively. A new combination, Z. bambusifolium, is proposed, based on Tupistra bambusifolia. This study will form the nomenclatural basis of an ongoing taxonomic revision of the genus in China, and phylogenetic study of the genus.

“…(2015a) and not repeated here. No recent comprehensive revision of Zingiber in India exists, although the last decade has seen a steady rise of newly described species as well as new distributional records, increasing the total number of species to c. 36 (Bhargava & Nair, 1979;Bhaumik & Pathak, 2008;Sabu & al., 2009Sabu & al., , 2013Kishor & Leong-Škornic ˇková, 2013;Kumar & al., 2013Kumar & al., , 2015Thongam & Konsam, 2014;Talukdar & al., 2015;Singh & Singh, 2016;Prabhukumar & al., 2016;Mibang & Das, 2016;Odyuo & Roy, 2019;Odyuo & al., 2019a,b;Thachat & al., 2020;Jayakrishnan & al., 2021).…”

Fixing stray traditions in gingers: The identity and nomenclatural history of Zingiber neesanum and other entwined names

The identities of two historical names, Zingiber neesanum (≡ Alpinia neesana) and Z. macrostachyum are re-investigated. Both have been considered to represent the same taxonomic entity by various workers in the past 160 years. Yet, based on traditional usage, they were applied to two distinct taxa occurring in the Western Ghats (India), both superficially similar by having long-stalked inflorescences, but much distinct in flower colour and overall morphology. Alpinia neesana was originally described only from fruiting material, while Z. macrostachyum was described from flowering material of a species with white flowers. Dalzell's presumption that his taxon was identical to Graham's, and unambiguous inclusion of A. neesana in his description made his name nomenclaturally superfluous and illegitimate. After realising the illegitimacy of Dalzell's name, a new combination was created in Zingiber for A. neesana. The name Z. neesanum continued to be applied sensu Dalzell to the white-flowered species mainly in the central and southern Western Ghats, but it was also applied to a yellow-flowered species in the northern Western Ghats, for which another name, Z. diwakarianum, was proposed recently. Despite the absence of any original material relating to Graham's or Dalzell's descriptions, re-collections from the type localities prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the yellow-flowered species is the true Z. neesanum, making Z. diwakarianum a synonym, and that the existing name Z. anamalayanum has to be applied to the white-flowered species, originally described by Dalzell as Z. macrostachyum. The significance of authentic primary data sources concerning botanical history such as correspondence and manuscripts of collectors and botanists, and the importance of making these resources widely accessible through digitisation are highlighted.
