Dear Friends,
I had seen this small terrestrial Orchid ( around 30 to 40cm high) with elliptical leaves on the ground. Flowers were very small, greenish yellow in colour placed in a slender spike.
Could this be Malaxis muscifera??
Family: Orchidaceae.
Date/Time: 08-08-2012 / 08:40AM
Habitat: Wild
Plant habit: Herb
Location: VOF.
Regards
Prashant

I just given a thorough look on the book "Concise Flowers of the Himalaya" authored by Oleg Polunin and Adam Stainton, which I bought from EDC shop at VoF. I could see something simillar to this with the name Malaxis muscifera. May be expers can validate or reject.
