Zingiber spp. 
Besides Z. zerumbet (Linn.) Smith, 6915, local name lancauas, two other 
species were collected, probably new, but in both cases the material is too mature 
for description. One of these, represented by 10240, is allied to Z. mollis Ridley, 
the other by 9198, 10237, and probably 10238, with the inflorescence on separate 
scapes, is not very closely allied either to Z. zerumbet or to Z. pubisquama Ridley, 
the two known Philippine species of the group, also differing from the two 
indicated by Ridley 3 by number alone.
