It has been well et byJ y ussieu, that the Zingibers flower 
in a dense spike near to the stem, the Cardamoms in a lax 
panicle at the base of the stem *. Such : an uniform natural 
distinction in the habit of. these plants. gave great reason to sup- 
pose that by a closer examination sufficient generic distinctions 
would be ascertained. This expectation has been fully con- 
firmed. In the aah of the trim tribe, it appead that uA

terminates in an ap ;endage c of three or more lobes, and differs 
also in other respects, as will be more particularly noticed under.
