Many many thanks Garg ji, for pointing to this article, that explains almost all of *Montanoa* observations are of *hibiscifolia*. Extracted following from the article, for justifying ID of this observation:
Leaf Characters *Montanoa bipinnatifida* :: bipinnatifid, longer than the broad *Montanoa hibiscifolia* :: palmatifid, almost as long as broad I am not sure of palmatifid, but we can clearly see that the leaf is broader than long.
