Conchidium braccatum (Lindl.) Brieger (= Eria reticosa Wight),
wild epiphytic orchid from Siddhapura area of Karnataka, similar species available in Dendrobium also, So there is some doubt in the ID
No this is Trias (Bulbophyllum). I need to check the closeup of flowers to confirm species.
Could be Trias stocksii.
May be Trias intermedia
It is Trias stocksii Benth. ex Hook.f.
