INTRODUCTION
Cornukaempferia is a genus, with two species endemic to Northeastern Thailand namely, C. aurantiflora and C. longipetiolata.The genus Cornukaempferia was established by Mood and Larsen (1997) based on C. aurantiflora. Later Mood and Larsen (1999) described the second species, C. longipetiolata. During a floristic survey carried out by the first author in Phu Rua and Na Haeo National Parks, Loei Province, a morphologically distinct species of Cornukaempferia was discovered.
