Zingiberales (3531 words)
Stem-group Zingiberales are dated to ca 114 million years before present, divergence within the group to ca 88 million years before present (Janssen and Bremer 2004); comparable figures are 84 and 62 million years before present in Bremer (2000b) and 81-73 and 62-38 million years before present in Wikström et al.
Zingiberales are giant herbs with often rather complex monosymmetric flowers that are largely restricted to the tropics.
Heliconiaceae are large herbs with 2-ranked leaves and inflorescences with large, colored bracts in the axils of which are fascicles of flowers with petaloid tepals; the drupaceous fruit is borne on a stout, elongated pedicel and has a single hard stone per loculus.
