Flowers are white with purple base in Christolea crassifolia (as in our specimen), they are purple or lilac with yellow centre in Desideria himalayensis (Syn: Ermania himalayensis Flora Himalaya; Christolea himalayensis Eflora Pakistan). Plants of former usually more than 15 cm long, fruit broader (3-4 mm), glabrous; in latter shorter than 15 cm, fruit 2-2.5 mm broad, hairy.

 

Satish Phadke may be able to throw some light on plant. It is very precious catch. I was trying to find Email of E-Shahbaz (who described it under new genus) to know his opinion also.
