Smithatris is a genus of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). The first species of this genus, Smithatris supraneanae, was named in 1998 by Kress and Larsen, two researchers from Denmark , in the limestone hills of Saraburi Province, Thailand.[1] The genus was thought to be monospecific until a second species, Smithatris myanmarensis, was discovered later in Myanmar.[2]
The genus was named after the Scottish botanist Rosemary M. Smith due to her extensive contributions to discoveries and reclassifications in the Zingiberaceae family.[1]
