Collected from Sholayar, Thrissur (01.05.2011) This would be Epipogium roseum, a saprophytic orchid. Yes this is Epipogium roseum as .. sir says. Saprophytic term has been removed from botany now and it is believed that there are no plant in the world which is a true saprophyte. The term which is now a days used is Myco-heterotrophic that means the plant is parasitic on fungi.

Location : Dampui, Mizoram Date : 02-05-2016 Habit : Terrestrial herb ? Habitat : Wild Kindly check for Epipogium roseum. Ref: https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/o/orchidaceae/epipogium/epipogium-roseum I too think that this Epipogium roseum Location : Dampui, Mizoram Date : 03/05/2016 Habit : Herb Habitat : Wild I think same as Epipogium roseum as per another thread.

It is from Gangtok; 4500ft Any other images ? ?? Thanks, ... Appears close as per images at Epipogium roseum Epipogium roseum. I am afraid it may not be E. roseum Hope you are fine. I understand your indication. However, Epipogium roseum is very widespread and highly variable and that’s why it already has so many synonyms including two from India, E. sessanicum and E. indicum.
