How many genera are there inside the Alpinia eubractea clade (Zingiberaceae)?

Project summary:

One of the largest challenges in the taxonomy of gingers is the polyphyletic genus Alpinia; the Alpinia eubractea clade being the most complicated. This project aims to evaluate if all species inside the clade should be placed in one genus or placed in several genera using molecular and morphological data.
