Costus curvibracteatus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Costus curvibracteatus
''Costus curvibracteatus'' is a tropical rhizomatous perennial native to Costa Rica and Panama. A member of the spiral ginger family of plants, its common name is orange tulip ginger. It is also sometimes referred to as spiral ginger; however, this common name is better associated with ''Costus barbatus'', a more widely cultivated and very similar species. Despite the name and its relation to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), the rhizomes of the orange tulip ginger are not edible. ==Taxonomy== The first description of ''Costus curvibracteatus'' as a species was published by the Dutch botanist Paul Maas in 1976 in the ''Acta Botanica Neerlandica''.〔 The article, 'Notes on New World Zingiberaceae', described 12 new species in the genus ''Costus''. The following year, Maas published a monograph on the Zingiberaceae, clearing up some taxonomic confusion and expanding descriptions, including that for ''C. curvibracteatus''.〔 In this and other early works, the genus ''Costus'' is placed in the family Zingiberaceae, subfamily Costoideae. Following further classification contributions by botanist W. John Kress, the spiral gingers were recognised as a sister clade to the Zingiberaceae and moved to the family Costaceae, as originally suggested by the Japanese botanist Takenoshin Nakai in 1941.〔〔
