Orchids from Western ghats for possible ID

[Satish Phadke]

These epiphytic orchids were observed somewhere near Mulshi(Western ghats) in july or August. I know it's difficult to ID with only these details.

Can someone suggest possible ID

Bulbs are seen with a small unopened inflorescence.

? Bulbophylum?

Thanks Pankaj

What does those bulbous structures indicate. Is it peculiar for a particular group/Family or genus??

Dr Satish Phadke

[Pankaj Kumar]

Sir, Those are pseudostems and found in many Eria (broadly speaking), even Dendrobium and others.

[Satish Phadke]

Ok, thanks.
