As per Haines, *Lepidagathis hyalina* Nees is a perennial, much branched herb, 1-2 ft high; fl.-fr. from Dec-April; leaves variable; spikes dense, 2-10 together, secund; bracts very dense, 4-farious imbricate; corolla .3 to .35 inch long, upper lip emarginate or two lobed, white with mottled brown palate or upper lip brown....
I have noticed difference in the flowers uploaded, in our dbase, from Eastern India and Southern India. FBI has several var. under the epithet *L. hyalina* Nees. I do not know if any particular variety has received separate identity in later days. Till I find further and recent literature on Indian *Lepidagathis* - I agree with your ID, Dinesh Ji.
