Thanks for showing this Prejith ji
Do you remember which was the host tree? Just a curiosity..It must be an evergreen forest I suppose.

Thanks to everyone for the appreciation.
Pankaj, I did finally manage to contact Dr. Sathish Kumar and he
helped me with the identification.
Satish ji, it is found in moist deciduous to evergreen forests and the
host tree is Ixora brachiata. You can check the place called Perambra,
Boothathankettu and Palaruvi on Google maps. It should give you an
idea of the type of forests. If you are interested I can send you an
interesting pdf file I found on the net which concerns endemic
orchids found in the Western and Eastern Ghats. You can see more
pictures of the flower in my blog http://presam77.blogspot.com/2011/10/luisia-abrahamii.html

Regards,
Prejith.

Thanks Satish ji.

All databases like POWO, GBIF, CoL, IPNI and WFO says Luisia abrahami Vatsala instead of Luisia abrahamii Vatsala.

Thank you
