Abstract

<br> A new species,<br> Curcuma glandulosa<br> P.P. Thwe, M.M. Aung &amp; Nob. Tanaka, is described from Taunggyi, southern Shan State, Myanmar. The new species is assignable to Curcuma subgenus Ecomatae, characterized by its epigynous glands, anther spurs, and lack of a conspicuous coma of sterile bracts.<br> Curcuma glandulosa<br> is distinguished by its red leafy stems, white bracts with red stripes, L-shaped anther spurs with densely short glandular hairs throughout, and a prominent anther crest. The leaves develop after blooming.<br>
