I will go with Rawat sir's ID. 

As per flora of China, one of the major differences between B. vivipara and B. macrophylla is the presence of bulbills in the lower parts of the inflorescence in P. vivipara.

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=126398

I cannot see any bulbil in the posted images. The compact inflorescence type also matches well with B. macrophylla.

Therefore, I am more convinced with B. macrophylla (D.Don) Sojak

Best regards,

Ritesh
