Apart from Leaves another important point to be checked for differentiating this from H.grandifloriformis is antheres which are rounded at tip while they are distinctly tricuspidate at tip in H. grandifloriformis
Habenaria for ID: Photographed this plant at Matheran on 24th July '11. These were blooming in good numbers along the slopes of Sunset Point. Please help with the identification. H. rariflora. Pls note leaves not flat on the ground and lateral lobes of lip longer than wider midlobe to rule out H. grandifloriformis.
Family: Orchidaceae Location: One kiss tunnel, Matheran Date : 20th July`12 Habitat : Forest hill slope
Family : Orchidaceae Last week of Aug 2012 Herb 30 cm High. Leaves Linear lanceolate to oblong lanceolate.1-4 flowered inflorescence. Flowers White. pedicellate, bracteate. Capsule ribbed 2-3 cm. Beak 0.2-0.4cm long. Stalk 0.4cm long. Apart from Leaves another important point to be checked for differentiating this from H.grandifloriformis is antheres which are rounded at tip while they are distinctly tricuspidate at tip in H. grandifloriformis. (I have not checked but understood after reading) Thank you for pointing out the anther related observation. Untill now I was only considering the leaves. Just to add that Habenaria rariflora was flowering at Matheran till July only. In August, there was no single herb that I could have observed. At Purandar, it is flowering now which is good news to me. If looked minutely, all pollinarium have lobes in Habenaria, atleast whatever I have seen so far. But you need to separate them properly to observe then use needle to separate the lobes. I think one more difference is the length of the spur which is longer in rariflora. Of course leaves are totally different but keep in mind that Habenaria diphylla is found with both kind of leaves but still they are same. FUNNY!! I had read about Habenaria diphylla on the group itself. I couldn't understand the last sentence Habenaria diphylla is found with both kind of leaves but still they are same
Will you please elaborate what is same? Ok I think you meant to say the flowers appear same. Is it? The leaves of Habenaria rariflora and H. grandifloriformis, both types are found in Habenaria diphylla, but people dont differentiate them (leaf variant of H. diphylla) into two species or varieties. Yes their flowers are same, BUT, flowers itself varies a lot. Some times the sidelobes of lip are totally missing, some times small or sometimes they are long filiform. Can Habenaria diphylla have one type of leaves only on one plant or it can be found with both types of leaves in single plant? One type of leaf in one plant!
Not so common ground orchid
This is first time that I am observing this species on tree trunk. There are two ways to think. Is Habenaria rariflora not a sciophyte? Or this is first interesting report of it being sciophyte? A better term should be Habenaria rariflora growing as EPIPHYTE!! Even while growing in grasses many orchids get shade due to grasses including few species of Habenaria, Zeuxine, Eulophia etc. But interesting pic that a Habenaria is growing on tree trunk. There are few more examples from this group playing such games.... but not sci Indeed the habit described by Fr. Santapau in Orchids of Bombay is 'Lithophytic, rarely terrestrial or epiphytic herbs'.

Submitting images of a specimen which I believe is Habenaria grandifloriformis for Id validation. Date/time: 13-09-2014/ 7-22 PM Location: Bababudangiri, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1700msl Habitat: Wild, occurring amidst grass land. Habit; A Terrestrial herb In most of the Habenarias images of leaves are important. I do think it is Habenaria grandifloriformis, but please share pics of better resolution next time. This is probably Habenaria rariflora looking at the leaves to extent visible. Agree better image with leaves would help confirming the id.
