Yes Rawat ji It is indeed I. kemoanensis. Very short stem and long perianth tube. I suspect most of specimens in Uttarakhand should be this one only. Now your job should be to see if you can find I. hookeriana in your area. Back in 1972-73 I had scanned all specimens at CAL, DD and LUCK for two species and found 90 percent of specimens wrongly identified. May be I can locate those accessions and send you.
