Thanks Prashant ji I think you have solved our problem. Your plant seems to be S. discolor, which has distribution in Western Ghats also. S. grossa is restricted to Western Himalayas only. Your plant has flowers purple in colour and bracts very small. Our plant from Chakrata is obviously S. grossa.
