Rhynchostylis retusa :: State Flower of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh: Rhynchostylis retusa is the State Flower of two states in India, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. কপৌ-ফুল kopou phool is its name in Assamese. Failed to find any mention of its local name in Arunachal Pradesh ... perhaps because there are too many languages prevalent there. Yet will be glad to know of any common name (other than foxtail orchid). For instance, sita pushpa, draupadi pushpa are mentioned in web pages related to orchids of the state, though not clearly.
Arunachal Pradesh is blessed with a cultural diversity of more than 30 major tribes and most of them are also good at speaking Assamese language. Most of the times, its a connecting language between people belonging from two different communities. The most popular name for Rhynchostylis retusa in Arunachal is Kopou phool only. However, there are many other local names used by different indigenous communities. Orchids on Orchid: Was at my farm at Shahapur during the Diwali holidays.

It is my pleasure to share a few images of Rhynchostylis retusa (Orchidaceae) Habit: Epiphytic Habitat: Moist deciduous forests Sighting: Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1000 msl Date: 04-06-2015. Very pretty.. More epiphytic orchids (Andaman Islands): Photos from 2011-01-08 shows a monopodial orchid, probably a Vanda from Elephant Beach, Havelock Island, Andamans Islands. I know it is impossible to ID Vandas without flowers but number of species might be limited, so does anyone know this one? This doesnt look like Vanda to me. I need to check atleast fruit of dry floral stalks. If I had to guess then looking at the broad and dense leaves and leaf apex, I could have gone for Rhynchostylis retusa. But not even 50% sure of it. I will have to check what species are there. I am at Delhi for few days. Cant access much informations from net. There is only one species of Vanda (Vanda teres + Papilionanthe teres) has been recorded from A & N Islands. The plant looks to me lie Aerides emericii if not Rhynchostylis retusa. This could be Aerides emericii but can you please tell him to have a look at the leaf apex, which is more retuse and has more than 2 points. I assume Aerides emericii will have only two pointed lobes. But I have never seen this plant in real. This is again Rhyncostylis retusa. Very evident from the leaf apex which is retuse.
