Dear Satish - the plant from Manali is definitely not *Lancea tibetica*, not being close. Also, one would be very surprised if this species were found around Manali as it is typically found in the borderlands of Tibet in damp places and grazing grounds. I have seen this e.g. in Zangskar. Also its altitudinal range (according to 'Flowers of the Himalaya') is 3000-4800m, so coming across it c. 2200m (or so) would represent a major extension of the previously known range.
