	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 ...

	Etlingera ''Etlingera'' is a genus of Indo-Pacific herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, consisting of more than 100 species found in tropical regions of the Old World.POULSEN, Axel Dalberg (2006Etlingera of Borneo Natural History Publications (Borneo). Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. . Some of the larger species have leafy shoots reaching almost 10 metres high, and the bases of these shoots are so stout as to seem almost woody. Others of the species grow as clumps of leafy shoots; while others have such long creeping rhizomes that each of their leafy shoots can be more than a metre apart. Unique and distinctive to all ''Etlingera'' is a tube forming above the point where the base of the flowers petals joins onto the plant (i.e. above the ''insertion'' of the corolla lobes). Distribution ''Etlingera'' species are native to India, Bangladesh, Burma, China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Papua New Gui ...
