@inproceedings{Sirirugsa2010TheGC, title={The Genus Curcuma L . ( Zingiberaceae ) : Distribution and Classification with Reference to Species Diversity in Thailand}, author={Puangpen Sirirugsa and Kai Larsen and Charun Maknoi}, year={2010} }
The genus Curcuma L. is one of the largest genera in the Zingiberaceae, with about 80 species, and distributed throughout tropical asia from india to South China, Southeast asia, Papua new guinea and northern australia. in Thailand, thirty-eight species have been found. Taxonomic knowledge of this genus is necessary for citing correctly the species used commercially as spices, ornamentals and medicines. Formerly, Curcuma was a member of the tribe Hedychieae. according to the new classification…
