These two species known in India (Cyclocodon lancifolius and C. parviflora) are mentioned under genus Campanumoea (C. lancifolia and C. parviflora) in Fascicles of Flora of India Fascicle-22, and differentiated as under:

Calyx adnate to ovary for a short length and to fruits up to the middle..................................C.lancifolius.

Calyx entirely free from ovary, situated often on the pedicels .............................................C. parviflora.

In the pics sepals are adnate to ovary indicating Cyclocodon lancifolius.

In the A Monograph of Codonopsis and Allied Genera (Campanulaceae) (2015), keys has been totally changed.  

As per this, it should be Cyclocodon lancifolius.

  I think this maybe C.axillaris as per A Monograph of Codonopsis and Allied Genera (Campanulaceae) (2015)
