Yes it is a species (supposedly hardy in our area but I have not tried it for hardiness) from Asia (China?).

There are green and red forms. I have had 3 green forms and lost them all due to overwatering or underwatering. So pay attention on those details. I now have a red form from a friend who collected them in the wild in China or some Asian country (Laos, Vietnam, etc) and from a small rhizome it has really grown well.

Here is a picture of my red form taken Jan 14. Sorry I don't have a full picture of it since I hate taking things down from their winter perch to take pictures.
