Dear Saroj ji,

Yes, it is Sirhookera latifolia.  Thank you very much for ID my Orchid.  However in my further observation, it is clearly visible that the filament partitioned at top in either sides and anthers fused together in a different way than S. latifolia?  Please check collage, right is resized EFI image.  With kind regards, Sam.

[Saroj Kasaju]

There may be some variations but I'm not sure. Option is to wait opinion from the experts !

Thank you.

Wonderful. We dont see this species very often. Sirhookera latifolia. Endemic to Western Ghats.

Dear Pankaj ji,

Thank you very much for the appreciation.

Is there any possibility of a mixture of S. lanceolata and S. latifolia or it might be Sirhookera latifolia?

With kind regards, Sam.
