which subsequently produced the plants figured in this Maga- 
zine (Tab. 4674) were gathered from the same individuals. 
Mr. Hanbury, indeed, who has paid great attention to this 
subject, and who pointed out to Dr. Hooker the erroneous iden- 
tification here alluded to, considers the yellow- and red-flowered 
plants as varieties. He says,—I am obliged to conclude that 
A. Danielli varies in colour of flower from yellow to crimson; ~ 
also considerably in the size of the fruit, in the latter being 
more or less furrowed ; in the length of the scape, being simple 
or branched ; and bearing one, two, or many fruits; and in the 
leaves being six inches to a foot or more long. 'The flowers do 
not differ much wherever grown, the apex of the anther is some- 
times truncated ; the seeds always brilliantly polished. I consider 
it to be the 4. Clusii, Smith, and the “ Amomum a grandes 
Jeuilles du Sénégal” of Guiboutrt. 
That Mr. Hanbury is right in considering these plants as 
varieties (as Dr. Hooker had previously supposed, Kew Journ. 
Bot. vi. p. 294) we can well conceive, the only differences being, 
_ besides.the colour, the smaller flowers and foliage of this, and 
its more acute labellum, with margins not undulated. Both 
are sent under the name of “ Barsalo,” or “ Bassalo ;” and both 
grow at several parts of the Bight of Benin, as Sierra Leone, 
Fernando Po, and Prince’s Island. # 
The specimens here figured are from plants sent from Fer- 
nando Po by the lamented Mr. Barter, botanist to Dr. Baikie’s 
Niger Expedition. It flowered in December. |
