Abstract

Cheilocostus candidussp. nov. (Costaceae), a basally flowering spiral ginger with cream white flowers from southern Vietnam, is described and illustrated here. A new combination, Cheilocostus tonkinensis (Gagnep.) Škorničk., is proposed here and the lectotype is designated. A key to Cheilocostus in Vietnam is included.
