I have also collected this species from Hemkund Uttarakhand, this species was belonging to the section Otophora of genus *Gentiana, *but in 2014 section Otophora was rised as an established genus Kuepferia on the basis of molecular studies (Favre, 2014). Kuepferia inflelix was the only single Indian species in section Otophora, now as genus Kuepferia. Later D. Maity (2015, 2016) added 4 new taxa from Sikkim in the genus newly established genus.
