Balanophora sp. root parasite


I tried to identify the species from literature but failed to assign the name from the images. 


Was it clicked in Nagaland ? Pl. mention the date also.
Pl. check with images at Balanophora dioica R.Br. ex Royle as per comparative images at Balanophora

This reminds me of a Balanophora species. The peduncles have not yet developed and are still hidden inside the bracts.
Where was it taken from?
Please find out more mature plants in the vicinity.
