Zingiberaceae Martinov
Alpinia arctiflora (F.Muell.) Benth. , legitimate, scientific
Bentham, G. (23 September 1873), Flora Australiensis 6: 266 [comb. nov.]
basionym: Hellenia arctiflora F.Muell. legitimate
  • Comment: Bentham refers to F.Mueller, Fragm. 8 (1872) 25, but the name is mentioned there only as a synonym of Hellenia arctiflora F.Muell. R.M.Smith, loc. cit. wrongly refers the name to F.Mueller, Fragm. 8 (1872) 25.
