PLANT FAMILY: Costaceae BOTANICAL NAME: Costus 'Reina Rosada' FORMAL SCIENTIFIC NAME: STATUS : CONTINENT: Neotropical SYNONYMS: BOTANICAL NOTES: Costus 'Reina Rosada' - Spanish for 'Pink Queen'. We found this plant in the Cord. del Condor, El Zarza area at 1200 meters. It appears to be a natural hybrid of the pubescent form of Costus laevis with Costus amazonicus - both of which are in the immediate vicinity. We picked the name so we would have some way to refer to it, but it will become a cultivar name if successfully propagated.
