Habenaria edgeworthii
Not from western ghats but from Himalayas : Pangot
This is the last from my collection of Habenarias
Pangot is a village in Nainital district in Uttarakhand, India

yes typical Habenaria edgeworthii.
Highly medicinal.
Thanks a lot ... for beautiful pictures, we are lucky to encounter this twice in Himalayas, once en route valley of flowers, then very recently in Chakrata... if I am right in identifying..

ORCHIDACEAE Fortnight: Orchid for ID from Uttarakhand DSR_9
 Attachments (2).  4 posts by 4 authors.

This terrestrial orchid was photographed near Badrinath at an altitude of 3300m in an alpine meadow on steep slope.

ID is needed.

I think this should be Habenaria edgeworthii (Platanthera edgeworthii). One very close ally is Platanthera latilabris. 
Thanks ... for showing this..... we also got this from Chakrata and Valley of Flowers... will share my pics..
My pictures of this are from Binsar in Jun.
Platanthera edgeworthii (Hook.f. ex Collett) R.K.Gupta, Fl. Nainital.: 349 (1968).

Nice and Clear Shot ... I think commonly called as Ridhi in Ayurveda

Another orchid from my yesterday’s walk. ... had helped identify another similar orchid from here as Platanthera latilabris. This one looked very similar but had distinctly more yellow to it. Please advise if it is the same species, a variation or another distinct species.

No this is Platanthera edgeworthii (=Habenaria edgeworthii). Spur goes up and curves down like monkey tail. Latilabris spur is much shorter than this.
