Cheilocostus speciosus (J. Koenig) C. D. Specht (syn: Costus speciosus J. Koenig Wild ginger, Cane reed Photographed from TDL Herbal Garden Yamunanagar, pl. validate I hope the identification is right.. The name of this species has been changed very recently. Specht & Stevenson (2006) proposed a separate genus status for this species as Cheilocostus speciosus (J.Koenig) C.D.Specht (2006: 159) based on a new phylogeny-based classification of the family Costaceae. They choose C. speciosus as the type species based on Banksea speciosa J.Koenig (1783: 75). But this generic name is a later parahomonym of Banksia J.R.Forster & G.Forster and is treated as a homonym. Thus Cheilocostus is a replacement name for Banksea. However, already in 1791, Retzius had published a replacement name for Banksea, namely Hellenia Retzius. Thus, Cheilocostus is an illegitimate superfluous name for Hellenia. Dr. Suchandra Dutta (2010) proposed a new combination based on this, as Hellenia speciosa (J.Koenig) S.R.Dutta (2010: 152) but she considered the basionym to be Costus speciosus Koenig ex Smith instead of Banksea speciosa J.G. Koenig thus the combination became illegitimate. However she rectified the mistake and legitmately published the name Hellenia speciosa (J. Koenig ex Smith) S. Duta later (Pleione 7(1): 28 - 29. 2013). Goaverts (2013) published the same combination in same year (2013) as Hellenia speciosa (J.Koenig) Govaerts unaware of the second publication of Dr. Dutta (Phytotaxa 151 (1): 63–64; 2013). However according to the rule of priority the combination of Dr. Dutta is valid which hadbeen published earlier. Thus the correct name is Hellenia speciosa (J. Koenig ex Smith) S. Dutta, Pleione 7(1): 228. 2013 Thanks ... for detailed explanation of the latest name
