Likely L. cuspidata. Similar dense spike inflorescence and spine tips on bracts as appears to be on photos.
Check plant height, L.cuspidata is said to be about a metre high, whereas fasciculata is called a herb/undershrub , actually 'prostrate ' in FOPak, so perhaps is shorter. There is good amount of info on different species of Lepidagathis of Karnataka at JCB herbarium <http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/species.php?id=L&cat=all> regards ASinha On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 4:49 PM, J.M.
