This is a distinctive plant. Recorded between Godawari and Phulchoki @ 2300-2800m @ Sheopuri @ 2440-2740m in 'Flora of Kathmandu Valley'.
Stewart only occasionally came across it @ 1200-1800m in Hazara and Kashmir, commenting it was common to the east. Collet found it to be very common on rocks & walls at Shimla; there is a line drawing of it in Flora Simlensis. Flowers of Himalaya say cultivated areas, banks & rocks; common Pakistan to SW China @ 600-2400m. 'Enumeration of Flowering Plants of Nepal' give 2400m as it upper limit, so rather odd that 'Flora of Kathmandu' should record it at and indeed above its previous known altitudinal limits. Cultivated in the UK. I last saw it growing on a bank en route to Dalhousie from Chamba side.
