The genera seems to match sir. Thank you. But it doesn't match with the listed species in eflora. Need to check more.

Yours sincerely,

Looks different as per images of Mycetia cauliflora at
http://phytoimages.siu.edu/imgs/pelserpb/re/Rubiaceae_Mycetia_cauliflora_65066.html
http://www.phytoimages.siu.edu/imgs/pelserpb/r/Rubiaceae_Mycetia_cauliflora_65125.html

Also no distribution as per POWO.

After checking all the species listed in Arunachal Pradesh at https://efloraofindia.com/efi/mycetia/, I found it near to Mycetia radiciflora (C.B.Clarke) Airy Shaw as per
https://www.gbif.org/species/5337713 (specimen one and two) (although speciemns are of low resolution and flower details are not clear)
