In total, 16 species belonging to eight genera representing three tribes of the family were recorded. The most species rich tribe belongs to Alpinieae with 13 species in 5 genera. This study presents a checklist of Zingiberaceae species found in the sanctuary which is beneficial for its efficient biological resource mangement.
