Thats the funniest variation I have ever seen. I imagine how far it can go or is it a new species??? I think you may describe this as a new species. This close to Malaxis versicolor but very different. Shinde sir and Rajesh Sachdev you should see this.

Please check the labellum sketch on one of the sheets and even on illustration. It doesnt actually match with Malaxis densiflora.

Dear All

Its been a good learning experince following this thread!
Here is some info from another resource, book by Abraham and Vatsala. They also record this as very variable species and have given three varieties.

Best regards
Ravee

This is really great. Dont usually get to see image of this group. Seidenfia densiflora (Malaxis densiflora, Crepidium densiflora - whatever you may call). May be the only image of this species on efloraofindia.
Thanks for sharing.

This is interesting Ravee. Yes I think this is intermedia. Sorry for wrong id. These plants look so similar and even keys are skeptic.
Thanks for pointing out.
