Dear Garg Sir,

I looked at the site and wondered if this is S. sinensis. I believe it is correct.
Thank you,
Karen

It is hard to make out. Spiranthes sinensis comes in both hairy and non hairy forms. Then this is not really the flowering time of S. sinensis. But so far only S. sinensis is known from Nepal.

So I will consider it S. sinensis unless someone dissects the flower and shows the inner parts.
