Roscoea Sm. Zingiberaceae. 4 sp. Himal. R. purpurea Sm. is often 
cultivated. It has a zygomorphic flr. with two lips. Insects landing 
on the lower and probing for honey find their way obstructed by two 
projecting spikes from the lower end of the anther ; pressure on these 
brings the anther (with the stigma, which projects beyond it) down 
upon the insect’s back. The flr. is protandrous. [Cf. Salvia.]

and stomata in hairy grooves on lower side (cf. Ericaceae, Empetrum).
