This does seem to be correct - though not a native/wild plant in Sikkim or by temples in Nepal where it is also found, presumably escaped from cultivation? Native of Yunnan, south Sichuan, the Shan States, Myanamar. Thought seems a somewhat surprising plant to be grown in Nepal or finding its way to around a temple in Sikkim. Not mentioned in 'Flora of Bhutan' or 'Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal' but these works concentrated upon wild plants. Nor is it in the 'Annotated Checklist...'.
