Roscoea tumjensis is a perennial herbaceous plant occurring in the Himalayas, in Nepal. Most members of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), to which it belongs, are tropical, but R. tumjensis, like other species of Roscoea, grows in much colder mountainous regions.
R. tumjensis is in cultivation in the UK, frequently incorrectly labelled R. brandisii.
Roscoea tumjensis occurs in the Himalayas, in central and eastern Nepal. The type specimen was collected at an altitude of 2,740 m.
