  • The Genus Etlingera (Zingiberaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia Including a New Species
    Gardens' Bulletin Singapore 53 (2001) 191-239. The Genus Etlingera (Zingiberaceae) in Peninsular Malaysia Including a New Species S.H. KHAW 23 Jalan SS2181 47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract Etlingera pieeae Khaw from the Temenggor Forest Reserve in Perak, Peninsular Malaysia, is described as a new species. Including this new species, there are 12 Etlingera species in Peninsular Malaysia for which a key and descriptions are provided. Introduction Etlingera species are recognized by the presence of an involucre of large, sterile bracts, elongate and tubular bracteoles (Fig. I), flowers with a distinct tube formed by the bases of the labellum and the filament above the attachment of the corolla lobes (Fig. 2), and the labellum inrolling as the flower withers (Burtt and Smith, 1986). The first comprehensive systematic account of Peninsular Malaysian species now included in Etlingera was given in the classic monograph of Holttum (1950). His detailed account included four Phaeomeria species and six Achasma species, now all considered as species of Etlingera (Table 1). Holttum (1950) credited Valeton for recognizing that Phaeomeria is closely related to Achasma. The two major characters that Holttum (1950) used to distinguish between these two genera were the peduncle (long and erect in Phaeomeria, short and usually subterranean in Achasma) and the labellum (short in Phaeomeria and elongate in Achasma). Subsequently, Burtt and Smith (1986) united the two genera Achasma and Nicolaia Horan., which replaced Phaeomeria, an invalid name (Burtt and Smith, 1986) with a third, Geanthus Valeton, to form a composite genus, Etlingera Giseke. (Geanthus is not found in Peninsular Malaysia).

A through morphological examination has been conducted to a living specimen of Zingiberaceae collection of Purwodadi Botanic Garden, East Java which was collected from Pangi Binangga Nature Reserve, Central Sulawesi. The result showed that the characters of the species match very well with the description of Etlingera megalocheilos. The distribution of E. megalocheilos was previously reported to occur only in Sundaland includes Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. Thus, E. megalocheilos is a newly recorded species in Sulawesi; and confirmed that its distribution record now has expanded to Wallacea. The key morphological characters of E. megalocheilos are labellum hourglass- shaped, dull red or red to orange-red with the yellow margin, the anther is not covered by the corolla lobe, and have slightly angled filament. Detailed descriptions, photographs, and notes of the species are presented in this paper. Due to its high potential medicinal properties, further bioprospecting studies are necessary to conduct.

    Ghasemzadeh et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2015) 15:335 DOI 10.1186/s12906-015-0838-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Secondary metabolites constituents and antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial activities of Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M.Sm grown in different locations of Malaysia Ali Ghasemzadeh1*, Hawa Z. E. Jaafar1, Asmah Rahmat2 and Sadegh Ashkani3,4 Abstract Background: Etlingera elatior is a well-known herb in Malaysia with various pharmaceutical properties. Methods: E. elatior flowers grown in three different locations of Malaysia (Kelantan, Pahang and Johor), were investigated for differences in their content of secondary metabolites (total phenolics [TPC], total flavonoids [TFC], and total tannin content [TTC]) as well as for their antioxidant, anticancer, and antibacterial properties. Phenolic acids and flavonoids were isolated and identified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant activities. The anticancer activity of extracts was evaluated using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Results: When extracted with various solvents (aqueous and ethanolic), samples from the different locations yielded significantly different results for TPC, TFC, and TTC as well as antioxidant activity. Aqueous extracts of E. elatior flowers collected from Kelantan exhibited the highest values: TPC (618.9 mg/100 g DM), TFC (354.2 mg/100 g DM), TTC (129.5 mg/100 g DM), DPPH (76.4 %), and FRAP (6.88 mM of Fe (II)/g) activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50)of34.5μg/mL compared with extracts of flowers collected from the other two locations.

R. M. Sm. (Zingiberaceae), torch ginger was studied at Calicut University Botanical Garden, Kerala. This study seeks to determine the flowering phenology, pollen viability, stigma receptivity, identify floral visitor, identification of pollinators and evaluate pollination efficiency. E.elatior flowers all year round, with a peak flowering January to April. During the peak flowering period 18 – 24 flowers bloom on each inflorescence. One inflorescence of E. elatior has a life of 3 – 4 months. Anthesis occurs between 5.30 - 6.30 a.m. and the lifespan of single flower is 1 day. Nectarinia asiatica, Nectarinia zeylonica (Male & Female) and Tetragonula irridipennis are most efficient pollinators. Percentage of fruit set in artificial cross pollination is higher than that resulting from natural pollination, which strongly indicates that some external agents are required for effective pollination. It is the reason for low fruit set in E. elatior. Keywords: Etlingera elatior, Nectarinia zeylonica, Pollination efficiency, Torch ginger, Zingiberaceae INTRODUCTION The family Zingiberaceae are the largest family of the order Zingiberales and one of the ten largest monocotyledonous families in India. It consists of about 53 genera and more than 1200 species. They are distributed mainly in tropics and subtropics with centre of distribution in the Indo-Malayan region, extending through tropical Africa to Central and South America [1].
