07 August 2016. It is Roscoea species Roscoea species so far in efi: Roscoea alpina & Roscoea purpurea I found these plants seeding on my walk yesterday and I took some photos to aid identification. 4 images. Flowers required for confirmation I thought the earlier photos in the thread were flowers but I may be wrong. Thank you very much … I did not even think of Roscoe alpina which I have photographed and posted from here before. As per this image, we could be seeing the seeds of R. alpina only. Please advise. I learnt something new today. Please thank … on my behalf. Yes, I agree as per GBIF specimen. Yes …, this Roscoea alpina Royle with dehiscing mature fruit.
