Luisia tristis (= Luisia zeylanica) and Luisia trichorhiza look similar and both of them are together found from Orissa to upper part of India. One basic difference between them is the presence of hairs on the rhizome or stem or roots in trichorrhiza and the leaf is cylindric abruptly ending in a rounded tip. In tristis leaves taper from above the middle and tip is a bit more pointed that trichorrhiza. I always get confused with such keys.... So I cant confirm from these pics, but nice pics....
