Gurcharan ji,
I am tempted to agree with you on this, except that the corolla of
C. cana looks more campanulate (bell-shaped), whereas our flowers are
more towards funnel-shaped (narrower at the base). Otherwise,
agreement seems to be quite good. This species is found at altitudes
1200-3400 m, and it is not even mentioned in Polunin & Stainton!
