a new Zingiberaceae species is described herein. The new species is close to Amomum
stenosiphon but this species has white prickly hairs towards the leaf tip
at both edges of the leaf margin at the apex, adaxially surface reddish to dark
green when matured. The leaves produce lemony smell and strong smell on the
root when crushed white-cream flowers, the lip has a yellow centre bordered by two red
lines, about 8.5 cm long, that gradually open. With the discovery of the new
species, the number of Amomum species in Sarawak now has increased to four
species.
