Abstract: The article offers additional floral morphology of a Costaceae species recently described from Yunnan, namely Parahellenia malipoensis Juan Chen, L.Y. Zeng, S. Jin Zeng & N. H. Xia. This species is readily distinguished from other Parahellenia species by distinctive morphological characters, such as very small stature, unbranched stems, small and plicate leaf blades, small inflorescences and bract with a soft spine at apex, small flowers, and notably short yellow anther crest ornamented with dark red lines.
