Thanks Pankaj ji and Satish ji for liking. Yes Pankaj ji I could not observe any leaf, may be leaf was there but i could not locate. attaching one more picture. 

[Pankaj Kumar]

I asked because this looksa close to a species Vanilla aphylla, but
cant confirm. Flower is so different. Seems I need to recheck all
Vanilla to confirm their ID.
Much be exotic.

😁You couldn't find the leaves sir, because I think this is Vanilla aphylla, the one without leaves. The redness inside the labellum is a bit dark though!!

Ok I am extremely sorry. There is some issue here. It was originally identified as Vanilla aphylla too, but later in 1890s it was pointed out that this was Vanilla wightiana which was a spelling mistake for Vanilla wightii.

So for the time being this has to stay as Vanilla wightii, however, I think this is a very normal Vanilla aphylla. Both do not have leaves.

I hope I am correct.
