Now I see difference in shape of flower parts between your plant and really
bicolored I. bicolor. I saw a photo of flower in lateral position from
Portland and very similar, inflated shape of lower sepal gave mi this idea
of different color forms.
We can agree that your plant and I. devendrae are similar.
I have no any description of I. harae. About I. pradhanii Grey-Wilson
wrote: "Flowers yellow flushed and veined with brownish-violet or
purplish-brown, generally unspotted" and in the picture lower sepal and
spur looks completely different - lower sepal narrows gradually into
incurved spur. So we can exclude it.
Best way to resolve this problem is to ask Dr. Pusalkar for assistance

My plant seems to resemble it except the absence of white flower colour;
the shape of lower corolla lobes, the appendage es and throat colour seem
to be matching. But perhaps we will have to exclude I. harae and I.
pradhanii first.
