Please help me in identifying the posted herb found among the grasses of high altitude Nilgiris.

Leaf: 6 cm long

Flower: 2 cm across

Date: 21 Oct 2012

Place: Western Catchment, Nilgiris, TN

Alt.: 2300 m asl

I think this is Asyneuma fulgens common in bare slopes or plateau slopes, very common in Palni Hills.

Many thanks for the identification.
