Firstly it is neither Scrophularia himalyensis nor S. polyantha, two
closely related species characterised by rounded sepals with scarious
margin. Here sepals are clearly ovate with acute tip and without scarious
margin.
To me both this plant as well as one on FOI are not S. elatior:
1. S. elatior is an Eastern Himalayan species distributed Nepal eastwards.
2. In S. elatior thye stamens are far exceeding the corolla. Here it is
hardly visible from corolla.
3. The plants S. elatior are glabrous to somewhat hairy above here they are
prominently glandular pubescent.

Both these plants (FOI and above plant), I hope identify with S.
edgeworthii.
