	Rosemary Margaret Smith Rosemary Margaret Smith (1933–2004) was a Scottish botanist and illustrator who specialized in the taxonomy of the Zingiberaceae, or ginger family. Many of the species she classified and identified as being placed into improper genera were found in Asian countries, especially in the isolated island of Borneo. '' Elettariopsis smithiae'', a species of ginger native to Malaysia and Thailand, is named in honour of her. In 2001, a genus titled '' Smithatris'' was named after her, the two species in the genus being '' Smithatris supraneanae'' and '' Smithatris myanmarensis''. Career The Malay rose was first described by Henry Nicholas Ridley as ''Hornstedtia venusta'', but Smith determined that it should be placed in the genus '' Etlingera'', becoming '' Etlingera venusta''. The genus '' Paracautleya'' was among the earliest defined by Smith, though it was later determined by Skornickova and Sabu (2005) that there were not enough physically differentiating traits to consider the m ...
