Abstract
Curcuma nepalensis M. Sabu, Kasaju & S. Subedi (Zingiberaceae) is described from Surkhet District of Nepal and illustrated. It resembles especially C. aurantiaca in having red bracts, a similar rhizome and yellow flowers, but differs from the latter by its shorter petiole, smaller labellum and white, calcarate anthers.
