Yes, the red marking can be a clue to the species but as per key the leaflets are more than 2 pairs (3 pairs) and calyx lobes are with linear segments on margins. This is the rare Smithia agharkarii, an endangered plant found near Kumudini lake on Kas Plateau. Here is another image. Regards,

[Tabish]

Smithia agharkarii Hemadri was reduced to a synonym of Smithia bigemina  in this 1986 paper, and is treated so at POWO.
