Given that it comes from the Valley of Flowers it most likely is a form of propinquum but the picture is not clear. Also the growing infructescence makes the spathe tube wider than it probably is. In the griffithii/propinquum alliance the spathe blade often remains intact for quite a while after pollination but in costatum it withers after pollination. The infructescence of costatum is much more dense with entirely green and rounder berries. Example of a costatum fruit for comparison can be found here: http://www.keepingitgreennursery.com/blogs/news/4232812-a-flowers-ugly-step- sister-seeds
Berries of the griffithii/propinquum alliance often have longitudinal veins present that are either whitish (as on this plant) or black and the berries are mostly upward facing & more separated from each other than in costatum (there is more space in between them).
