Amomum aculeatum Roxb. is common in Java, where it grows 

 both wild and cultivated, and I think that it occurs in various 

 forms or Varieties throughout the Eastern Archipelago. 

 Among the Papuan forms, which I have described as varieties of 

 this species, Amomum gymnocarpum Val., Nova Guinea 8: 926, 

 apparently agrees with Rumphius's description. Rumphius's 

 description is the whole basis of Amomum hatuanum Naves, 

 a name not listed in Index Kewensis. 



Globba longa minor Rumph., Herb. Amb. 6: 136, a native of 

 Java, is probably Hornstedtia minor (Blume) K. Sch. (Elettaria 

 minor Blume).

Rumphius's description applies unmistakably to Nicolaia, and 

 Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 175, considered it to be Nico- 

 laia speciosa Horan. or an allied species. I have placed it 

 under Amomum magnificum with doubt, because I suppose the 

 Celebes specimens collected by Sarasin, cited by K. Schumann 

 under Nicolaia magnified K. Schum., to represent Rumphius's 

 species, which was from Celebes. Whether the form Rumphius 

 described is Nicolaia magnifica K. Schum., N. hemisphaerica 

 Horan., or N. speciosa Horan., I do not venture definitely to 

 decide. I consider N. speciosa Horan. to be distinct from N. 

 magnifica K. Schum. on account of the color of the labellum.
