Ginger-families

The ginger-families[1][2][3] or ginger group[4] or Core Zingiberales[5] is a terminal clade in the order Zingiberales (Monocotyledoneae) that comprises Zingiberaceae (the ginger family), Costaceae, Marantaceae and Cannaceae.[1][2][5] Their shared synapomorphy of a single fertile anther and four or five highly modified staminodia differentiate them from the basal paraphyletic assemblage of the "banana-families".[1][2][5]
