Roscoea Schneideriana
''Roscoea schneideriana '' is a perennial herbaceous plant found in China, in Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan. Most members of the ginger family ( Zingiberaceae), to which it belongs, are tropical, but ''R. schneideriana'', like other species of ''Roscoea'', grows in much colder mountainous regions. Description ''Roscoea schneideriana '' is a perennial herbaceous plant. Like all members of the genus ''Roscoea'', it dies back each year to a short vertical rhizome, to which are attached the tuberous roots. When growth begins again, "pseudostems" are produced: structures which resemble stems but are actually formed from the tightly wrapped bases (sheaths) of its leaves. Plants are tall with usually four to six leaves, although there may be as few as two. The leaves form a rosette at the end of the pseudostem and have narrow blades usually long by wide, usually curved (falcate), hairless (glabrous), and with a pointed tip. Flowers appear in July to August in the wild. The stem (pedunc ...
