This should be Mycetia longifolia (Wall.) Kuntze as per details and references herein.

Key difference is that it is having 'At least some calyx limbs and sometimes also bracts bearing few to numerous marginal glands on short to well-developed flexuous stipes' as per keys in Flora of China. This you can clearly see here.

It is lacking in Mycetia nepalensis H.Hara. Pl. see specimens at GBIF.

Also have a look at Mycetia stipulata (Hook. f.) Kuntze as I have not checked it.
