Orchid for ID-050611MN: Sending a photo of orchid.
Place :    Karnala bird sanctuary
Date  :     4.6.11
time   :     3.00 p.m.
Kindly identify the orchid.

This is Cottonia peduncularis. Slightly deformed flower.
This is a wide endemic plant distributed in India and Sri Lanka.
Oh, Karnala!!! I wish one of my indirect students who worked in Karnala had shown this plant to me :((....
BTW, Karnala I still doubt if it is a wildlife sanctuary notified by MoEF. Its not a protected area but it is a reserve forest I assume.

It is my pleasure to share few images of Cottonia peduncularis (Orchidaceae 

Habit: Herb 

Habitat: Epiphytic, Evergreen forest fringe. 

Sighting: Sakaleshpur, Hassan, Karnataka, about 900 msl 

Date: 18-02-2016 and 19-02-2016


Beautiful shots !!!!.
I had seen  this plant 9 years ago and collected some from Rose mala, Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary, Kulathupuzha, Trivandrum
Some one can undertake a good study on this.
Prof. S.R.Yadav once reported that it mimics the bee and is pollinated by sexual deception. Although no one ever saw a bee pollinating this flower.
Dr. Alex Kocyan, a world renowned expert on the group said that there is no sexual deception in any of the Indian orchids including Cottonia.
There could be a nice PhD work on this.
Thanks for showing this wonder.
