The maps were produced using ArcMap Software. Ecological and taxonomical data from 430 specimens of Zingiberaceae (14 genera, 76 species) were reviewed. The specimens reviewed were Alpinia (80), Etlingera (77), Globba (62), Amomum (54), Plagiostachys (35), Zingiber (31), Homstedtia (30), Hedychium (17), Boesenbergia (20), Burbidgea (8), Eleffariopsis (8), Curcuma (3), Kaempferia (3), and Geocharis (2).
