Some flowers from Arunachal Pradesh-1

[Kiran Srivastava]

Hello all,

 

Some flowers from Upper Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh:-

 

1060232 : Golden-flowered Dendrobium, Dendrobium chrysanthum. I found it growing high up on a very tall tree. A common orchid in the Himalayas but I only saw it twice.

 

1060053 & 1060057 : tubular, light purple flowers.

 

1050856-1 & 1050857 : The petals of these purple flowers had a texture I cannot describe. Found along the road.

 

1050804-1 : These multi-petal white flowers found growing on a rocky wall.

 

1050794-1 : These pretty yellow flowers growing amidst thick, wet vegetation.

 

Request identity please?

I think close to images at Crawfurdia angustata C.B.Clarke rather than those of Crawfurdia speciosa Wallich
