Yes it may be a different species as Ritesh Ji has mentioned in the thread that it was a small twiner. P.wallichii as posted by me and Nidhan Ji are same in my opinion, both are small hanging herbs along waterfalls/ on dripping rocks and are never a twiner or climber. As per Flowering Plants of India Dicotyledones (also as online Checklist of BSI) mention only three species in India. P.wallichii is known in all Himalaya and NE India while P.pulcherrima is known in C & E Himalaya. The third species P.caudatum is very different with very narrow leaves. However, an expert opinion will be more useful as I am not aware of East Himalayan flora. DSRawat Pantnagar
