Adelmeria is a genus of perennial herbs in the family Zingiberaceae which are endemic to the Philippines.

[1] Previously, Adelmeria had been considered a synonym of the genus Alpinia, however, after a study showed Alpina to be highly polyphyletic, it was determined in 2019 that Adelmeria was a distinct genus.

[2] The generic name of Adelmeria is derived from the American botanist and plant collector Adolph Daniel Edward Elmer (1870 – 1942).

[3] The genus was first published and described by Henry Nicholas Ridley in Leafl.

[4] The Type species is Adelmeria paradoxa (Ridl.)
