The brilliant crimson and yellow flowers appearing often 
dotted all over the ground are most attractive. In Griffiths 
descripti ion he has evidently intended to write of them “ vivide 
coccineus," which has been printed viridia coccineus, and transla- 
ted into “greenish red." Amomum rubroluteum Bak. collected 
by Maingay in Penang is this plant I should judge from its 
description. The back of the stamen is qe rut a little beyond 
the anther as Griffith shows in his figure and this seems from the 
eee to be the only distinguishing character of А. rubrolu- 
teum
