'''Zingiberaceae''' ({{IPAc-en|,|z|I|n|dZ|I|b|@|'|r|ay|s|ee}}) or the '''ginger family '''is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s made up of about 50 [[genus|genera]] with a total of about 1600 known [[species]]<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.

Many of the family's species are important [[ornamental plant|ornamental]], [[spice]], or [[medicinal plant]]s.  Ornamental genera include the shell gingers (''[[Alpinia]]''), Siam or summer tulip (''[[Curcuma alismatifolia]]''), ''[[Globba]]'', ginger lily (''[[Hedychium]]''), ''[[Kaempferia]]'', torch-ginger ''[[Etlingera elatior]]'', ''[[Renealmia]]'', and ginger (''[[Zingiber]]'').  Spices include ginger (''[[Zingiber]]''), [[galangal]] or Thai ginger (''[[Alpinia galanga]]'' and others), melegueta pepper (''[[Aframomum melegueta]]''), [[myoga]] (''Zingiber mioga''), [[korarima]] (''Aframomum corrorima''), [[turmeric]] (''[[Curcuma]]''), and [[cardamom]] (''[[Amomum]]'', ''[[Elettaria]]'').
 
 
 
==Description==
 
 
 
Members of the family are small to large herbaceous plants with distichous leaves with basal sheaths that overlap to form a pseudostem. The plants are either self-supporting or [[epiphyte|epiphytic]]. [[Flower]]s are [[hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic]], usually strongly [[zygomorphic]], in [[Inflorescence#Terminal flower|determinate]] cymose inflorescences, and subtended by conspicuous, spirally arranged bracts. The perianth is composed of two whorls, a fused tubular calyx, and a tubular corolla with one lobe larger than the other two. Flowers typically have two of their stamenoids (sterile [[stamen]]s) fused to form a petaloid lip, and have only one fertile stamen. The ovary is inferior and topped by two nectaries, the stigma is funnel-shaped.
 
 
 
Some genera yield [[essential oil]]s used in the perfume industry (''[[Alpinia]]'', ''[[Hedychium]]'').
