Mr. DnvANpEn's Remarks, &c. 213 
the flower of Manjella-kua, or the officinal Curcuma, is like that of 
Manja-kua, and by the figure of a fingle flower of the natural fize 
given by Hermann with his reduced figure of the officinal Curcuma. 
This flower is exactly like that of Manja-kua in the Hortus Mala- 
baricus, but cannot be copied from thence, as Hermann's book was 
publifhed before the 11th volume of that work; I can no other- ' 
wife account for this fimilarity, than by fuppofing that Hermann 
had feen the drawing before the publication. The reduced figure 
of the whole plant, given by Hermann, is alfo erroneous, repre- 
fenting the {capus at a diftance from the leaves; whereas it ap- 
pears by the accounts of the Hortus Malabaricus, Rumphius, 
Koenig, and Jacquin, that the ícapus comes out between the 
leaves. 
~ Page 6. Amomum fpurium, Zinziber fpurium of Koenig, is the 
fame as Amomum zerumbet, p. 5, as may eafily be feen by comparing 
gs defcription with Murray’s and Jacquin’s figures : and de- 
paons. There is an error of the prefs in the quotation from 
Koenig, which fhould be, p. 6o inftead of 59: in the latter page 
is found Koenigs Amomum Cardamomum, which the Editor has 
paffed over, though it is a different fpecies from Linné’s Amomum 
Cardamomum ; it is mentioned by Thunberg in his Flora Japonica, 
p. 15, under the name of Amomum Cardamomum javanicum. 
Page 7. Alpinia occidentalis of Swartz, and p. 8. Alpinia jamaicenfis 
of Gærtner, are the fame. 
Page 9. Tfiana fpeciofa, Bankfea fpeciofa of Koenig, is Cofus ara- 
bicus of Jacquin, Cofus /peciofus of Dr. Smith, in the firft volume 
of our Society's Tranfaétions, and Cofus arabicus of Swartz prodr. 
from whence the Editor has borrowed the differentia fpecifica of 
Coffus arabicus, in p. 7. 
— Page 16. Hippuris tetraphylla Linn. Suppl: and Hippuris lanceolata 
ef Retzius, are the fame.
