Habenaria grandifloriformis flowering : The Single-leaved Habenaria [H.grandifloriformis] was also flowering. Sending a few photographs.
Yes this is Habenaria grandifloriformis. Grandifloriformis means, BIG FLOWER BEARING, hence logically it should be named as BIG FLOWER BEARING HABENARIA, though there are many other species which bears much bigger flower :)). By the way, this is an endemic orchid of India. some Habenaria grandifloriformis pictures from me
Beautiful orchid. Thanks for sharing sir. It is endemic to India. Just out of curiosity, if you just have flowers, then how do you differentiate it from H. rariflora. It is indeed difficult to differentiate the two H.grandifloriformis & H. rariflora from flowers. I had posted a key from Orchids of Bombay - Santapau & Kapadia few years ago. Following is the link to the key from my earlier post. Fr. Santapau has differentiated the flowers on anthers : H. rariflora : anthers rounded on top H. grandifloriformis : anthers distinctly tricuspidate but merely identifying only from images of flowers is near to impossible. The leaves indeed confirms the id. You know there is another species Habenaria diphylla. This plant has both type of leaves as in rariflora and grandifloriformis. Sometimes I think, it could be divided into two species.
Habenaria grandifloriformis for sharing: Habenaria grandifloriformis blooming out.... covering a land cover.......... Life cycle in all Habenarias are very simple. They multiply vegetatively as well as sexually. There is a perrenating tuberoid which gives new shoot during monsoon and while they develop flowers on the aerial part they also develop new tuberoid underground. which by the end of the season is mature enough to perrenate for one year whereas the previous years tuberoid dies off. Slightly above the tuberoids on the stem sometimes stolon develops and at the terminal end it may form a tuberoid too, which gives shoots next year. I personally think that new shoot emerges on the food scarcity stress. Sexually as usual it multiplies through seeds. Most of the orchids are self compatible (not all) but I am sure Habenarias have pollinators too, though no one studied that part to my knowledge.
Habenaria grandifloriformis flowering 2: Had recently posted photographs of the Single-leaf Habenaria [H.grandifloriformis] flowering at Khandala at this link. Sending a few more photographs taken at Shahapur on Sunday. Also featured are a capsule and the bract-lIke second leaf seen in some of the plants.
