 Hello Dr. Pankaj Kumar

I had to ask my son for details or the delay in answering you. Here is his answer:

Concerning the plant:

- On the heights around Lake Inlé (altitude: 1300-1400m)

- It is not in the forest but the flower was rather in the shade in the grass.

- size taken at 70mm / focusing 47cm. I would say that the size of the flower is 10-12 cm

By size of the flower it means from the top of the dorsal sepal to the end of the labellum.

In the "A Checklist of the Trees, Shrubs, Herbs, and Climbers of Myanmar / Contributions from the United States National Herbarium" there is only Arundina graminifolia, A. cespitosa is not cited.
