"Another mainstay of the Cretaceous are the family including gingers and bananas, the Zingiberales. These tropical plants are common in the study area in the form of the rhizomatous herb Zingiberopsis. Found in the understory of redwood forests, these are favored by herbivores with shredding teeth such as pachycephalosaurs."
― Saurian encylopedia
Zingiberopsis magnifolia belongs to the order Zingiberales, the same order that includes bananas, heliconias, ginger, etc.
In Saurian[]
Zingiberopsis are present in Saurian. Adult forms of the plant are edible for Triceratops, however they provide little nutritional value in comparison to other plants.
