Orchidaceae Fortnight - Disperis photos : Attachments (1). 5 posts by 2 authors. Please find a photo of a Disperis attached. Is this Disperis zeylanica? Some books seem to mention Disperis zeylanica and Disperis neilgherrensis as two distinct species, but plant list says they are same!! Wonderful... This should be Desperis zeylanica. Some guy sitting in South Africa studied these two without actually seeing the live specimens. They are very distinct and the first one finds mention in the protologue of second also. Thanks for the id confirmation. If I am not mistaken this one has its brothers and sisters in Africa. Probably they got separated when the continents got formed?! Orchids can travel to greater distances due to their light seeds unlike animals. Disperis is also found in Hong Kong. Indeed they can and they do. At the same time the availability of associated fungi would matter too, I believe. It's my pleasure to share a few images of this terrestrial orchid, Disperis zeylanica Habit: Herb Habitat:Terrestrial, evergreen forest floor. Sighting: Kuduremukha, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1400 msl Date: 1-7-2015 Gorgeous orchid .. Thanks for sharing
