Besides Z, zerumhei (Linn.) Smith, 6915, local name lancauas, two other 
species were collected, probably new, but in both cases the material is too mature 
for description. One of these, represented by l02JtO, is allied to 2. moUis Ridley, 
the other by 9198, 10237, and probably 10238, with the inflorescence on separate 
scapes, is not very closely allied either to Z, zertimhet or to Z. puhisquama Ridley, 
the two known Philippine species of the group, also differing from the two 
indicated bv Ridley ^ bv number alone.
