Help me in Identifying this Polygala sp.
Collected from Bageshwar, flowers purple, roots tuberous and aromatic (smell similar to Methyl salycilate used in the brand IODEX)

Please check it for Polygala furcata (just a guess). Our plant had erect stem 5-10 cm, and larger leaves.

To me appears close to images at Polygala crotalarioides Buch.-Ham. ex DC.
