Thanks Garg ji for key and attachments. The crucial question is whether our specimens with suddenly tapered lower sepal is I. scabrida or I. tricornis if we treat them distinct species. the confusion all along has been status of I. tricornis. If we believe (as per Paper by Shinobu Akiyama and Hideaki Ohba) that specimens with "Lower sepal navicular or infundibuliform, 9–12 mm long, 5.5–8 mm deep (excluding the spur), tapering into a long upwardly or downwardly curved spur; spur 17–25 mm in overall length". are I. scabrida (No known Indian distribution according to these authors), and "Lower sepal pale yellow shaded with dull orange, bucciniform, (9–)15–18 mm long, (13–)20–25 mm deep (excluding the spur), abruptly constricted into incurved spur; spur curved, (8–)15–23 mm in overall length" is I. tricornis, we need to have key separating I. edgeworthii and I. scabrida as per new interpretation of these authors. This only will settle the matter for all. Until we have key separating all three matter can't be solved.
