As far as I know, only 2 Roscoeas are recorded from Uttarakhand. It is not *R.alpina* which is also found in Kashmir and H.P. (I saw it in Deodar forest at Manali in the mid-1980s), *so presumably must come within what is known as R.purpurea.*
'Flora Simlensis' has this species under the name *R.procera* - both this and *R.alpina* are known from Shimla. However, a number of new species of *Roscoea* have been described from Nepal in recent decades, so one needs to eliminate some of these from consideration - I do not have the details to hand.
