Globba (Malayan name). Zingiberaceae. Herbaceous conservatory plants with rhizomes and habit of canna, and a singular floral structure.

Flowers in terminal panicles; bracts usually deciduous; calyx funnel-shaped, 3-lobed; corolla-tube longer than the calyx, the lobes nearly equal, ovate; staminoid petal-like and fastened to the corolla-lobes; ovary 1-celled, forming a globose, tardily dehiscing caps.— Only one species is known to be cult, in Amer. This is known as G. coccinea, which is really G. atrosanguinea figured at B.M. 6626. "Index Kewensis" is clearly in error in referring G. coccinea to G. albo-bracteata as is plain from G.C. II. 18:71. Veitch intro. in 1881 a plant under the provisional name of G. coccinea, as it was supposed to be a new species, but the next year, it was identified with G. atrosanguinea. This plant was highly praised in 1893: "Plants in bloom the greater part of the year: sts. much crowded, 12-18 in. long, gracefully arching on all sides: fls. scarlet and yellow, in dense racemes." For cult., see Alpinia.
