​The discovery honor to the great Taxonomist and expert in Zingiberales order, Dr. M. Sabu, Professor, Department of Botany, Calicut University. He led to me the world of Angiosperm taxonomy and his support and help is the strength in my life and research. I dedicate this species to him and I believe it is the best publication in my life.
