15. Zingiber inflexum Bl. 1827, 43. Val (1904) 7; 1905 tab 172. 

 This species has been collected now in several places in West and 



Mid-Java though rather rare ; from Malacca it is not yet mentioned. There 

 is a specimen in our Herb, from the mus. Perak, Wray 3518, from upper 

 Perak, which was determined by King as Z. injlexum : the specimen howe- 

 ver is indeterminable and may belong to Z. Kunstleri. 



The species has been collected in the following places; 



Tjibodas in Mt Gedeh 1500 M, many collectors. 



Nusa kembangan 300 M, Val. 107. 



Sendoro 1650 M, "in shadowy young forest". „Scape 250 mm with

Vern. name "Tongtak" Tjibodas, "Peseot idjii or Penseot" on Mt 

 Sendoro (Lörzing). 



16. Zingiber neglectum Val. 1904, 9; 1905 tab. 174;? Z.tongiak.K. 

 ScHUM. 1904. This species is very difficult to distinguish from Z. inflexum in a 

 dried state if the preservation of the materials be bad and 1 am not quite 

 sure that this is not the real Z. inflexum Bl., for the expression "subca- 

 rinate" in the diagnose is perhaps better according with this species than 

 with my Z. inflexum, where they are rather "carinate, deflexed", than 

 subcarinate. If 1 had discovered this species first, I should most probably 

 have called it Z. inflexum Bl. Happily the original specimen is too bad to 

 make probable a discovery of the supposed error.
