Singh Sir, Thermopsis flowers would be brownish purple, larger and in
a raceme. These are smaller, mauve and in clusters on a long peduncle.
I think this to be Oxytropis lapponica. Regards, Shrikant

Yes Shrikant ji, it is not Thermopsis which has trifoliate leaves. It could be Oxytropis cachemeriana, in O. lapponica the leaves are with much narrower leaflets.

Rather O. microphylla is a better option

I agree with Gurcharan ji
It does appear to be
Oxytropis microphylla. Look at my pictures at
