My visit to National park on 20 august 2013 i got complete farm of Habenaria ovalifolia near slop in undergrowth in hill Habenaria ovalifolia Orchidaceae Very beautiful close ups as well as habit pics.. Lovely photographs !!! Clearly shows that this the Masked Orchid [H.ovalifolia] is distinct from the Yellow Fork Orhid [H.furcifera] which it closely resembles and which has been considered as a synonym on certain sites. Now suspect that my unidentified orchid at this post is also the Masked Orchid.
How about Habenaria frucifera? Need a slight close-up of it to confirm. Thanks ... Had also narrowed it down to Habenaria furcifera [not frucifera]. Unfortunately do not have any more / close-up photographs. Yes, Its looks like Habenaria furcifera.... Feedback from another thread: Lovely photographs !!! Clearly shows that this the Masked Orchid [H.ovalifolia] is distinct from the Yellow Fork Orhid [H.furcifera] which it closely resembles and which has been considered as a synonym on certain sites. Now suspect that my unidentified orchid at this post is also the Masked Orchid. I cant see the flower properly but I think this is Habenaria ovalifolia. The mid lobe is not visible on any flower, so I assume they are curved upwards touching the hood.

Yes this is used as medicine too can't remember for what! Sorry for digging out this old post again but I was wondering if this H. ovalifolia and not H. furcifera. ... what do you think? Isn't the closed lip a characteristic of ovalifolia. Furcifera should have a open lip, right? Yes, it is Habenaria ovaliolia. This post was on 14 SEP 12 5 days later on 19 SEP 12 when I put this same plant in "Names of Plants in India" series of posts, it got corrected by ... efi thread I have then re-posted the same plant on 2 OCT 13 during Orchidaceae Fortnight, with corrected name. Sorry for my mistake. Yes this plant is Habenaria ovalifolia. Thanks for bringing it up... Thank you all for that clarification. I stumbled upon that post while I was searching for all the Peristylus of southern India. The genus Peristylus seems to be a bit of a mess. To add to the confusion, some species have been given different names in the Dr. Sathish Pandey et al's book on Orchids of Maharashtra. What do you guys think. Is there a revision of Peristylus? ...? That's a nice idea. Dont look at that book Pugaay except page 249 for Peristylus. I would be happy to help. Yes, Peristylus needs attention...There is no revision as such and it is much needed... Such a revision is a great idea! :) Perhaps for both Peristylus and Habenaria?
