Dear all,
Please help me to identify this Oberonia sp. found near a tea estate and grassland in Sholayar near TN-KL border. I cannot take proper close-ups with my small camera, sorry for the poor flower picture.

Leaf: 10-12cm long
Inflorescence: c. 15cm long

Date: 02 Aug 2012
Place: Solayar, Valparai, TN
Alt: 1100 m asl

Host tree: Erythrina

A nice robust Oberonia plant with handsome inflorescence. TFS
I think Detailed flower view is essential for ID of the species.

Dear sir,

It is very complex to identify Oberonia without flower detailed. If
you have flower close-up please send it for confirm id.

I think this species is Oberonia acaulis Griff.

Please share close up of the flower.
Check whether the lip is papillose or covered with hair like projections..
It looks like Oberonia chandrsekharanii.
But I can not confirm this ID unless without seeing lip characters.

Dear all,
Many thanks for the inputs. Actually the flower was in distant that my camera could not focus it. Collection was also not possible, as it is out of a fence in Tiger Reserve.
