I could finally find Plantago major var. brachyphylla in GBIF (syn: Plantago himalaica Pilg.; Plantago brachyphylla Edgew.; Plantago gentianoides Decne.).

I think it looks different from both the specimens given in GBIF.

POWO and CoL give it as Plantago himalaica Pilg.

To me appears close to images at Plantago major L.

What are the listed species in the area?

Plantago depressa is not mentioned in the Checklist of Nepal.

I think dissection of a flower may help in id in this complicated genus as can be seen in illustrations below, as bracts and sepals may be very important ids among other things and as per keys in Flora of China:
