Dear friends,

Kindly re-examine and place this Disperis sp,Orchidaceae,earlier identified as Disperis neilgherrensis vide link https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/ZdSIYvhY2VA. The Online Flora of all known plants (formerly the Plant List) considers Disperis zeylanica as a synonym of Disperis neilgherrensis vide link http://www.worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-0000944775. However,

the eflora of india considers that the two taxa are distinct from each other(https://efloraofindia.com/2013/10/25/disperis-zeylanica/) and a few of my uploads are identified as Disperis zeylanica therein.Morphologically I find no discernible difference between the two. I request the experts to kindly elucidate the differences, if at all there are any.

Habit: Herb

Habitat:Wild,terrestrial,Shola forest

Sighting:Mullaianagiri,Chikmagalur,Karnataka about 1700 msl

Date:24-06-2015

Thanks and regards
