Abstract

A phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Zingibereae (Zingiberaceae) was performed using nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) and chloroplast DNA (trnL (UAA) 5′ exon to trnF (GAA)). The tribe is monophyletic with two major clades, the Curcuma clade and the Hedychium clade. Paracautleya, sampled for the first time, comes out as predicted while Caulokaempferia comes out in a different position from that found in another recent study. The genera Boesenbergia and Curcuma are apparently not monophyletic.
