I actually have doubts that this is Goodyera seikoomontana. But cant confirm from this image.

Very interesting. It’s greyish green coloured leaf? This is typical of Goodyera seikoomontana, not sure it’s reported from Nepal. Need to see flowers.
I am 2800 km road trip. Will check later.

Not listed in Nepal. Shall follow up for the flower. 
By the way, any chance for G. viridifolioa ?
Thank you.

Not viridiflora with that colour of leaves I think.

Today : 23 July 2024

Dear Dr. Kumar, 

Surprisingly, a couple of plants with flower budding shot on 23 June 2024 were missing.
Shot only one  plant that was budding today. There are hardly 2/3 small plants left.
Please suggest to me that how many days it will take to bloom so that I would be able to
follow up.

Thank you.

Its yet to open sir. Flowers are small but bit enough, may be around 1 cm wide.
