Baijibara; central nepal 3600m

next to footpath; non cultivated Plant

Height; ca 25 cm

Leaves lanceolate

Pink/purple flower with 5 petals

Flowering period: October

I look at Swertia, but could not find a candidate, or is it somewhat totally different?

Swertia dilatata ??

Looks different from Swertia paniculata Wall. (syn: Swertia dilatata C.B. Clarke)

I find it more closer to Swertia ciliata (D. Don ex G. Don) B.L. Burtt as per comparative images at Swertia‎

But I am not sure.

I guess on the base of petals two dots looks distinct as in S. paniculata not like S. ciliata.

But image is not clear enough!

it’s a pity, I have no other photos
