The Alpinia sect. Myriocrater (Zingiberaceae) of the Philippines
Project summary:
The Alpinia sect. Myriocrater of the Philippines is understudied. Initial examination of specimens from several localities identified as A. musifolia or A. vulcanica revealed that it did not match the morphology of the two latter species. This project aims to provide a taxonomic revision of the section in the Philippines.
