Hello,   Looks like it is Habenaria gibsoni. Could be var. gibsoni or var. foetida depending on scent.   I have another photograph that was clicked at Lohagad. This was in an undergrowth.   best regards   Adittya Dharap --- On Wed, 9/2/09, J.M. Garg <jmg...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,   This is further to my below email. I would like to correct it. I re-checked the Habenaria key but unfortunately after sending the email. It is not Habenaria gibsoni that I had guessed. It is some other Habenaria that I couldnt arrive at.   But it is certainly neither H.panchganensis.   Am equally eager to know what it is. Probably Dr.Pankaj is the best person to comment on what it is. apologies for incorrect posting.   best regards   Adittya Dharap   --- On Wed, 9/2/09, Adittya Dharap <aditty...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Here is a reply from Pankaj ji:

"I have seen this plant and today i spent whole of my second half of
the day in vain identifying the plant.
This is not....
digitata
gibsoni var. gibsoni (=foliosa)
gibsoni var. foetida
panchaganensis
grandifloriformis
stenopetala
panigrahiana var. panigrahiana
panigrahiana var. parviloba

..... which place has this been collected from.
I have a slight doubt on the other pic provided by Rajesh Sachdev too,
they dont look very similar. The lobes of labellum in Rajesh's plant
are parallel where as it is divergent in the original. But the plant
is interesting to me so I will try again with other references.
Regards
Pankaj"

Hi, Adittya ji & Pankaj ji,

Could we pinpoint the species by now?

I think this is one of the three varieties of Habenaria foliosa, but I
may be wrong
