Taxonomy of the ginger family; classification of many species of ginger
Rosemary Margaret Smith (1933–2004) was a Scottish botanist and illustrator[1] who specialized in the taxonomy of the Zingiberaceae, or ginger family.[2] 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.[3] In 2001, a genus titled Smithatris was named after her, the two species in the genus being Smithatris supraneanae and Smithatris myanmarensis.[4][5]
