I find these more closer to images at Luculia gratissima (Wall.) Sweet rather than those at Luculia pinceana Hook.

What struck me is the spathulate calyx given in the description in your book link (at MS,Aug., 2021/08 Luculia sp.for id.) for Luculia pinceana, which I found at Plants from Northeast Tour 2017- Luculia pinceana from Cherrapunji, Meghalaya. Also lamellate appendages at the base of corolla lobes for this species can be seen at Rubiaceae Week: Sharing Rubiaceae Photo from Arunachal Pradesh and A small tree with white flowers and Tohangam,Lohit,Arunachal Pradesh. 3.1.17

So, safely we can take your plant as Luculia gratissima
