I think you are correct, the plant is indeed

Peristylus goodyeroides (D. Don) Lindl.

I think both of the above are absolutely wrong indeed.
Can anyone think of a Chlorophytum with long inflorescence in
Maharastra? Those yellow things near the mouth of buds seems to me
like anthers. So this cant be an Orchid at all. Even leaves doesnt
point towards any of the Peristylus known to me. P. goodyeroides is
absolutely ruled out. P. plantagineus, the colour doesnt match at all.

Dear Ritesh,
Can you check if this is some Polygonum?

This would be Chlorophytum glaucum or C. glaucoides. More likely to be
the latter looking at the tip of raceme. Regards, Shrikant

it is a species of Chlorophytum. It is not C.borivillianum, it is not
C. tuberosum, Not C.laxum, It may be C.arundinaceum. But the
distribution may not match for this species.

This looks like Chlorophytum arundinaceum Garg Ji. Please tell the collector to compare the plants with C. arundinaceum.
