From a quick look this seems to fit.   There is only one species of Myriophyllum recorded from Nepal - which is M.spicatum.

The situation is more complicated in Kashmir - which I plan to comment about in due course.

Thank you.

It should be Myriophyllum aquaticum only as per keys at https://ornamentalfish.org/wp-content/uploads/Milfoil-Myriophyllum-species-identification-guide-January-2023.pdf
