Matheran orchid identification.

[Jayesh Patil]

Hello,

Attached are photographs of a orchid taken at Matheran.

Location: Matheran (approx. 800m above sea level)
Date taken: 10 July 2011

Is this Malaxis versicolor?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Jayesh ji, beautiful orchid.  I am going to Matheran this month.  Which part of Matheran these flowers can be seen?

Regards,

Mani.

I assume the plains on the hill slopes, with little of grass land is
prospective habitat for Orchid sightings. To be specific, the toy
train route (down town) and the trail from chowk point or one tree
point to Karjat would be a kind of.

I suppose M. versicolor is correct name and not M. rheedii
