Smithatris myanmarensis
Curcuma myanmarensis is a rhizomatous geophyte in the ginger family, endemic to Myanmar and little known in cultivation. Grow it like other tropical Curcuma: warm, humid, with a rest period.
Curcuma myanmarensis is a species of monocotyledonous flowering plant in the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is a rhizomatous geophyte endemic to Myanmar (Burma).
The species was first described as Smithatris myanmarensis by Walter John Emil Kress in 2003. It was renamed Curcuma myanmarensis in 2015, when the genus Smithatris was subsumed into the larger genus Curcuma. No subspecies are listed in the Catalog of Life.
