Sorry for the spelling error. Thanks Nidhan ji for correcting it.
Garg ji, the accepted name is Shuteria involucrata (Wall.) Wight & Arn., as per The Plant List http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/ild-32630

Dear all,

Taxonomy of this species seems quite confused.

Sites treating both (Shuteria involucrata & Shuturia vestita) as a single species:

The Plant List Ver.1.1 & ILDIS

Sites treating both as different species:

GRIN & Flora of China

Which one to follow for our website ?
