Asian Zingiberales: Resume & Prospects. (Prof. M. Sabu Commemoration Volume). 2019. illus. XVIII, 310 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

The Zingiberales, a primarily tropical order of plants, include eight families (Cannaceae, Costaceae, Heliconiaceae, Lowiaceae, Marantaceae, Musaceae, Strelitziaceae and Zingiberaceae), approximately 110 genera, and more than 2,600 species. Many members of the Zingiberales are economically important as foods, spices, medicines, and ornamentals (e.g., bananas, gingers, and prayer plants) or play important ecological roles in local tropical ecosystems (e.g., strongly co-adapted plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore interactions).

Over the last several decades, there has been a renaissance in our understanding of the diversity and evolutionary history of the Zingiberales, especially in the Asian tropics. Through both individual and collaborative research, we now have a much better understanding of the taxonomic boundaries of families and genera, the phylogenetic relationships of these taxa,and the extraordinary diversity of species that are native to tropical lowland and montane forests.

The contributions in this special commemoration volume for Prof. M. Sabu significantly add to our comprehension of the taxonomic depth and breadth of these plants and address many of the challenges to describe and understand the diversity of the Zingiberales and Zingiberaceae. The papers include basic taxonomic descriptions, new floristic accounts, ethnobotanical surveys, conservation assessments, horticultural trials, and genetic studies. This broad collection of manuscripts is a fitting tribute to the lifelong work of Professor Sabu.
