Mr Roscoe, (Linn. Trans, viii. p. 34-6,) 

 makes HEI.LF.SIA a species of Alpinia ; but 

 Mr Brown has shewn that it differs from it 

 in the filament not being produced beypnd the 

 anthera, and in the texture of the capsule. 

 The generic character given by Mr Brown 

 is, Perianthii limbus interior unilabiatiis, basi 

 utrinque detiliculo auctus. Filamenlum li-
