Dear Manu
Yes this is Cottonia peduncularis.
A monotypic genera distributed exclusively in South India up till
Orissa and Sri lanka.
Thanks for sharing.

I will request you and other members who are posting orchid pics that
please cc them to sahani...@gmail.com, so that I would know. I have
kept eflora mails on digest mode due to my hectic schedule these days
as I havent been able to contribute much.
Work load has been too high.

Regards
Pankaj
