Lamiaceae ?

I do also have this plant in my database from Gori Valley area, would like to have the id…!!
I first thought this to be Elscholtzia but this could not convince me enough..

Is it Platostoma coloratum (D.Don) A.J.Paton (accepted name) ??

Another link

Platostoma coloratum (D.Don) A.J.Paton is accepted name but not reported from Nepal.

Did not find any image in the web, however one link is noticed as below :

So, is it new to Nepal ?

Geniosporum coloratum (D.Don) Kuntze (synonym)

This seems to be an Elsholtzia sp. to me..
Please help to conclude id for this plant recorded from Gori Valley area..

Adding two more shots, if they are of any additional help..

Elsholtzia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)

To me appears close to images at Elsholtzia fruticosa (D.Don) Rehder as per comparative images at ‎Elsholtzia, though I am not sure. Pl. check.

The Elsholtzia fruticosa /polystacya is having numerous inflorescence. but here I found only few infl only!
