Unlikely to be E. kanyakumariensis ("known only from Mahendragiri Hills of Kanyakumari district") as the petals are said to be "greenish-purple" according to the paper in this link.

Could it be E. dichotomus? I'm not sure. Hope somebody acquainted with the flora of the region can give more clarity.

Best wishes, Viplav
