This does look like Crepidium acuminatum (=Malaxis acuminata) but do you have any more pics to share.

Pankaj

[Anil Thakur]

Yes, Dr. Pankaj
Attaching one more photograph.

Dear Sir

Please check the image attached.

The plant on left hand side is (B) Crepidium purpureum and one on the right hand side is (C) Crepidium acuminatum. You can see the difference in the midlobe of the labellum (the apex on upper part), there is constriction on left flower making a prominent midlobe but no constriction on right hand side.

Hope this helps in checking your plant.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

Thank you Dr. Pankaj Ji for these beautiful comparative photographs.
C. purpureum is new for me.
I could not reply to your mail earlier, as I was busy with my office
and personal assignments.

Attaching more photographs. These clearly indicate that it is
Crepidium acuminatum. Crepidium purpureum has never been reported fro
Shimla hills.

Regards
Anil Thakur

Yes these are Crepidium acuminatum (Malaxis acuminata). Thanks a lot for sharing. Its strange but it seems that they are flowering very late. They usually dont stay till August.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

This is very strange, infact at once I thought this is a hybrid of Crepidium acuminatum and purpureum but I think this is merely a deformed flower of Crepidium acuminatum.
