Finally its confirmed as Galeola falconeri with help of Naresh Swami sir .
Distinguishing features between two species are here -
G.lindleyana - sepals are externally rough (rugose);
G.falconeri - sepals are  externally smooth.
(Lip shape also differs in both species.)

Thanks all for kind help.

This is Galeola falconeri and the key is not correct. Please check the key on Flora of China to differentiate it from G. lindleyana.
Thanks and regards
