  • Comment: A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 164 (1991), lists "Alpinia modesta Bailey... nom. illeg. non Schumann (1904)?". However, Bailey (1909) cites the authorship of this name as "(F. v. M. ined.) K.Schum.". This is thus here considered to be a secondary reference by Bailey to A. modesta F.Muell. ex K.Schum., rather than an attempt to publish a new name.
