Looks different from … images at Spiraea vaccinifolia

On further scrutiny and as per details and references herein, I feel it may be Spiraea vaccinifolia D.Don only.

I saw the Keys available in Flora of Nepal- Online Flora (as per this Spiraea micrantha and Spiraea bella are very close).
As per these keys and detailed description, it is Spiraea micrantha.
