Roscoea query

Received this one as Roscoea cautleoides...but that's not correct, I guess...or is it?

Only because of the squat nature and very wide basal leaves, I would say R. tibetica Wim.

Thanks Ron....I had no idea, I'm no Roscoea specialist!

Well you've done well, Wim. It's more desirable than R. cautleoides!
