Sharing some pictures of Liparis deflexa shot today (30.7.16) at the Phedi Nagarkot at 5500 ft.
I did not see entry of this plant in the efi.
Yes Liparis deflexa. Thanks a lot for sharing wonderful pics. This I think was not there in our collection.
Oh Sorry I just realised your plant is from Nepal. It is reported from western Himalaya I assume.
There another brother of this, very rare, Malaxis mackinnonii which has two leaves appressed on ground like this.
Should I take it as Malaxis mackinnonii ?
No sir this is Liparis deflexa.
I was talking about another species.

Very interesting.
I thought Liparis deflexa has two leaves only. But seems not. Closeby if you can find Liparis rostrata.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
