Neottia pinetorum (Lindl.) Szlach., Fragm. Florist. Geobot. Suppl. 3: 118 1995. (syn: Diphryllum pinetorum (Lindl.) Kuntze; Listera brachybotryosa Tang & F.T.Wang; Listera pinetorum Lindl.; Listera yuana Tang & F.T. Wang; Neottia brachybotryosa (Tang & F.T.Wang) Szlach.) ?;  Neottia pinetorum (Lindl.) Szlach. (=Listera pinetorum Lindl., L.mucronata Panigrahi and Wood) is a ground orchid found between 2500-3500m altitude in Uttarakhand. It is not a common species, more so because it is difficult to locate due to greenish flowers. Photographed in Sunderdhunga valley of Bageshwar district Uttarakhand. I think differ from you a bit. I am not sure if this is Neottia pinetorum. I will recheck further to confirm. Thanks ...; altogether a new shade of colour to me for a flower, and beautiful too. Unique shaped flower. Thanks ... for sharing Thank you ... for nice words. This is unique orchid and I saw it first time too in my Sunderdhunga tour. ... expressed that it may be different species, hope he finds time to determine. I understand, he is handling so many posts and queries.This could be Neottia tenuis. Keys and diagr in Deva and Naithani (1986) indicated it as L.pinetorum (now N.pinetorum). To me L.tenuis seems a smaller plant with narrower leaves than this. However, I will, once again, check the specimens. I have seen N. pinetorum, it has distinct red line on the labellum. Even the margin is not so wavy. But yeah I could be wrong. References: The Plant List |
