THREE NEW SPECIES OF GLOBBA 
BY 
TH. VALETON Sr. 
With Tabulae V—VI. 
In working his paper: ,Ueber Infloreszenz-Bulbillen in der 
Zingiberaceen-Gattung: Globba’, appearing in this periodical, 
Dr. Docrers van Lezuwen met with some interesting Globba- 
species cultivated in the nursery of the Botanical Garden, both 
of them still indeterminated. Having endeavoured in vain to 
identify them with any species described in the Monography 
of K. Scuumann in ,Pflanzenreich”, he proposed me to study them 
and, if proving new, to describe them in this same number. 
I could not but state that none of them had been described, 
and so gladly accepted the opportunity to add new Zingibera- 
ceae to the flora of the Malay Archipelago. I take profit of the 
occasion by adding the description of an other rather inter- 
esting Globba, very complete materials of which had recently 
been sent by Mr. Lérzine, the deserving conservator of the Bot. 
Garden of Sibulangit at Medan in East-Sumatra.
