Please help with deciding the identity of this Swertia from Deovan Herbal Garden, Chakrata, September 17, 2011. Leaves and nectary suggest S. cordata, but petals lack purple striations.

Dear all,
 I guess images of S. alata in FoI and Efi are different and according to efi this sp. looks like S. alata.
Thank you.

We can't ignore naked nectaries, they are supposed to be  watch-pocket shaped with short, compound fimbriae in S. alata, plus purple veins or dots are missing. This was lying in my folders as S. alata only, but I realised differences now only.
