I found it very interesting. This has got distribution in Nepal at 3000m, but eflora China gave its range at 2000-3700m. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242326219 Surprisingly there is not a single picture in the Net except for one herbarium image. Enclosing the link for more herbarium images: https://www.gbif.org/species/7316005 By the way, full credit goes to Mr. Garg for hinting the genus.
