Elettaria Cardomomum
''Elettaria'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Zingiberaceae. They are native to India and Sri Lanka, but cultivated and naturalized elsewhere. One member of the genus, '' E. cardamomum'', is a commercially important spice used as a flavouring agent in many countries. In 2018, several species were removed from ''Elettaria'' and placed in a new genus called ''Sulettaria''. These species are recognized as of October 2018: * ''Elettaria cardamomum'' (L.) Maton - India * ''Elettaria ensal'' (Gaertn.) Abeyw. - Sri Lanka These former species from Malaysia and Indonesia were reclassified into ''Sulettaria'' in 2018: * '' Elettaria brachycalyx'' S.Sakai & Nagam. - Sarawak * '' Elettaria kapitensis'' S.Sakai & Nagam. - Sarawak * '' Elettaria linearicrista'' S.Sakai & Nagam. - Sarawak, Brunei * '' Elettaria longipilosa'' S.Sakai & Nagam. - Sarawak * '' Elettaria longituba'' (Ridl.)

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Rosemary Margaret Smith
Rosemary Margaret Smith (1933–2004) was a Scottish botanist and illustrator who specialized in the taxonomy of the Zingiberaceae, or ginger family. Many of the species she classified and identified as being placed into improper genera were found in Asian countries, especially in the isolated island of Borneo. ''Elettariopsis smithiae'', a species of ginger native to Malaysia and Thailand, is named in honour of her. In 2001, a genus titled ''Smithatris'' was named after her, the two species in the genus being ''Smithatris supraneanae'' and ''Smithatris myanmarensis''. Career The Malay rose was first described by Henry Nicholas Ridley as ''Hornstedtia venusta'', but Smith determined that it should be placed in the genus '' Etlingera'', becoming '' Etlingera venusta''. The genus '' Paracautleya'' was among the earliest defined by Smith, though it was later determined by Skornickova and Sabu (2005) that there were not enough physically differentiating traits to consider the monop ...
