Baijibara; central nepal 3600m
next to footpath; non cultivated
Plant
Height; ca 25 cm
Leaves lanceolate
Pink/purple flower with 5 petals

I look at Swertia, but could not find a candidate, or is it somewhat totally different?

I find it more closer to Swertia ciliata (D. Don ex G. Don) B.L. Burtt as per comparative images at Swertia
But I am not sure.

I guess on the base of petals two dots looks distinct as in S. paniculata  not like S. ciliata.
But image is not clear enough!
Thank you.
