Abstract
The Costaceae family, a vibrant group of flowering plants, stands out within the Zingiberales order for its unique characteristics. Often confused with their close relatives, the gingers (Zingiberaceae), The monostichous (one-sided) spiral phyllotaxy of shoot is the key character of this family, which encompasses around 7 genera and 143 species (Specht 2006). Some members are rich in essential oils, alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, steroids, and phenolic compounds.
