Dear Garg ji,
I think it is Polystachya foliosa because it has only spike inflorescence.  Thank you very much for forwarding my request for identification.
With kind regards, Sam

Dear Pankaj ji,
Thank you very much for your validation.
Can it as Polystachya foliosa with single spike inflorescence should be a new record for Kerala?
With kind regards, Sam

I think Pankaj ji can further clarify, if it can be Polystachya foliosa and not Polystachya concreta or otherwise.

What is the origin of your plant? Did you collect from wild in India?

Then for obvious reasons that it is Polystaycha concreata. P. foliosa is an American species.
