Zingiberaceae (EP.; ). Monocots. (Scitamineae). 35 gen-' 800 sp., trop., chiefly Indomal. Perenn. herbs usu. with sympodial fleshy rhiz., often with tuberous roots. Aerial stem, if any, short; sometimes an apparent stem is formed as in Musa by the rolled up leaf-sheaths. L. 2-ranked, with short stalks and sheathing bases. At the top of the sheath is a char, ligule (cf. Grami- neae). Els. in racemes, heads, or cymes. Their morphology much discussed (see Eich- ler's Bliithendiag. or Nat. Pfl.}. Bracteole often sheathing (as in fig.). K (3), the odd one ant., C 3, usu. different in colour and texture from the outer P-leaves. Of the possible 6 members of the A (two whorls), the post, one of the inner whorl is present as a fertile epipet. sta., and the other two of this whorl are united to form the petaloid label/urn (not equivalent to that of Orchids), which may be 2- or 3-lobed; the ant. sta. of the outer whorl is always absent; the other two may be absent (as in Renealmia) or may be present as large leafy stds. right_and left of the fertile sta.
