Obs. Woodville Beene a at niet Ps. of his Medical Botany, that the 
roots of Zedoaria longa, and rotunda are both produced by the same 
species of plant, and are indiscriminately used in the shops : the for-

of the little finger; two or three inches in length, bent, rough, and 
angular; the latter are roundish, about an inch in diameter, of an ash
