One of the forms of Habenaria pelarioides.

Habenaria pelarioides on the contrary is a deformed form of Habenaria dentata and both of them have so many fake names from India, China, Vietnam. Indians also made a fake genus Odisha.

Thank you Dr. Kumar,

POWO, CoL, IPNI and WFO have no mention of this sp. and could not be retrieved with this name.

However, they have mentioned this as a syn of malintana. Only GBIF has this name retrievable.

By the ebay you have described this sp as syn of malintana viz. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcore.ac.uk%2Fdownload%2Fpdf%2F269302042.pdf&psig=AOvVaw0d-q9Zpc2Aw9etLhPZdgPQ&ust=1697181376024000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBEQjRxqFwoTCMikkbr774EDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAe .

Enclosing herbarium images from Nepal also!

Yes sorry

Now the accepted name is Habenaria malintana

Habenaria pelorioides C.S.P.Parish & Rchb.f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. London 30: 139 (1874)
Sorry for the confusion. Actually, this synonymy was also done by me.

Yes sir here also there is a spur, so it’s my mistake. It’s good to keep under H. dentata!!

Sorry
