Taxonomy, Phylogenetic Analyses and Pollination Biology of Scaphochlamys (Zingiberaceae) of Borneo

Scaphochlamys Baker is a genus of 44 species in the family Zingiberaceae distributed from Southern Thailand through Peninsular Malaysia until Sumatera and Borneo. Previous taxonomic and phylogenetic studies concentrated on the species from Peninsular Malaysia. The interactions between the diverse Zi...
