Appears to be Epilobium brevifolium subsp. brevifolium as per images and details herein and as per comparative images at Epilobium.

Details of stigma and stem are not clear.

Still we can take it as Epilobium amurense Haussknecht, Oesterr. as per discussions at SK 3172 26 November 2021, being from the same time and place.

This one looks slightly different to me since the number of leaves are too

densely close and clustered, but not sure !

Thank you Mr. Garg !

After checking all the four species listed in your area as per SK 3171 25 November 2021, I think it may be Epilobium wallichianum as per GBIF specimens from Nepal- one, two

Looks different from GBIF specimens of Epilobium tibetanum and Epilobium sikkimense Haussknecht as per GBIF specimens- one, two and POWO.

Only doubt which remains is the 'Stems (5-)10-25(-60) cm tall, simple or sometimes branched, glabrous except for 2(or 4) raised strigillose lines decurrent from margins of petioles, ...' as mentioned in the Flora of China.

Taking it as Epilobium brevifolium subsp. brevifolium as per SK 3156 20 November 2021 (lacking raised decurrent lines)
