Dear Miss Ratna, Kindly review this image again. I am afraid this seems *R. dalhousiae subsp. tashii* to me. [I conclude this on the basis of the no. of flowers in the inflorescence, the size (apparent though) and shape of the flower, the convex stigma, and the typically bending style] But it is surprising you found this in Lava (i.e. in the Darjeeling District) whereas this species (to my knowledge) has been reported only from Pangthang area in East Sikkim district of Sikkim.
