Thank you Dr. Mark. However, the leaf looks different from B. nuwakotensois !

I’m not sure, but the red hairs on the tepals are not a match for B. palmata. I’d need to see a more mature plant to be sure, this one looks stunted. It could be B. nuwakotensis, or perhaps B. flaviflora (??).

And B. flaviflora also does not look a match since it is found in Eastern Nepal only

above 2100m.

Thank you.

Agreed!

[Saroj Kasaju]

It does not match with any sp. as listed in the book by KK shrestha et all.

Thank you.

I am not sure, Mr. Garg. Maybe, the ID pending section.

Thank you.
