Could this be Habenaria cephalotes Lindl. ??
Yes its Habenaria but I have no idea is it cephalotes...
This is interesting. Net is too slow so cant download the pics, but yes, this should be Habenaria cephalotes Lindl. and endemic orchid from Western Ghats.
Thanks so much for sharing beautiful pics. I am looking at it for the first time.
