Sorry for digging out this old post again but I was wondering if this H. ovalifolia and not H. furcifera. Pankaj what do you think? Isn't the closed lip a characteristic of ovalifolia. Furcifera should have a open lip, right?

Hi Navendu,

Yes, it is Habenaria ovaliolia.

This post was on 14 SEP 12

5 days later on 19 SEP 12 when I put this same plant in "Names of Plants in India" series of posts, it got corrected by Pankaj and Sweedle

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/Habenaria$20ovalifolia/indiantreepix/1jzZ6r-ewQE

I have then re-posted the same plant on 2 OCT 13 during Orchidaceae Fortnight, with corrected name.

Thank you all for that clarification. I stumbled upon that post while I was searching for all the Peristylus of southern India.

The genus Peristylus seems to be a bit of a mess. To add to the confusion, some species have been given different names in the Dr. Sathish Pandey et al's book on Orchids of Maharashtra.

What do you guys think. Is there a revision of Peristylus? Pankaj, Sweedle?

Thanks and Regards

Navendu

That's a nice idea. Dont look at that book Pugaay except page 249 for Peristylus.

I would be happy to help.

Navendu ji,

Yes, Peristylus needs attention...There is no revision as such and it is much needed...

Sweedle

Dear Pankaj, Navendu sir

Such a revision is a great idea! :) Perhaps for both Peristylus and Habenaria?
