Check for Iphigenia magnifica..

… is right… It’s looks like ‘Iphigenia magnifica’ ‘लाल भूईचक्र’ in Marathi. (Ref. Page 469, ‘Further Flowers of Sahyadri’ by Shrikantji Ingalhalikar)

This appears to I. magnifica, looking at the glabrous filaments. If the filaments were hairy it could have been I. indica.

Hopefully this is Iphigenia magnifica (based on efi pics).

Flower looks almost similar to I. indica !

Yes …, but going by the distinguishing factor mentioned in FoI (stamen filaments are hairless), this is I. magnifica.
However, would like to expert opinion.

I was just stating flower looks similar for both sp.
