| Abstract: | The account of Zingiberaceae and Costaceae for the Flora of Tropical East Africa is updated on the basis of new collections from Uganda. Two new species of Aframomum (one also found in Zaire, the other also in Rwanda) are described and A. limbatum is newly recorded. A. usambarense is reduced to synonymy under A. corrorima. These records increase the number of species of Aframomum known from Uganda from nine to 14. One new species of Costus is described. Renealmia sp. A of the Flora is identified as R. bracteata. Chromosome numbers are given for four species of Aframomum. |
