Habenaria elwesii Hook.f., Bot. Mag. 122: t. 7478 1896. (Syn: Ate elwesii (Hook.f.) Szlach.);
please find attached photos of a Habenaria. Could this be Habenaria foliosa? This is a very very interesting find. I am on bed and checking your mail and pics. Will confirm tomorrow but this looks something close to Habenaria ramayana or Habenaria panigrahiana. I had long been thinking of merging both but never could see live plants of both!!! You are great !! Where did you find this intetresting orchid. I too am curious to here further from ... Will be great to hear anything on this :) Thanks ... This was found in Coorg.. lower elevations. Could see Habenaria ovalifolia, Habenaria longicorniculata, Nervilia crociformis in the vicinity as well. I am so sorry I was wrong as I had my first glance of these pics on my bed. This should be Habenaria elwesii. A very rare orchid from south India. I got a dream last night that I made a mistake on this :) Thanks so much for sharing. No ..., this is not H. elwisii. It is different. Let me see whether I have pictures. The white beard are lost as they are deciduous. Flowers are not fresh. I have your elwesii too. Please take a look at the attached type Thanks ... :) Any info is good info! Yes, looks like the its the end of flowering season for this.
