I would like to know more about this. More pics if you have. This could be a new record for India, very close to Amitostigma.

Pankaj

How many leaves and whether they were appressed to ground or raised above. More pics would be helpful.

This is indeed Amitostigma and this could be a new species. It seems very close to Amitostigma basifoliata, but I cant see spur, leaf also looks longer and narrower, side lobe of the labellum looks longer too. You must recollect and dissect the flower for confirm ID. 

Regards

Pankaj

[Pankaj Kumar]

I consulted my friends in China. They say that this is not basifoliatum, hence this could be a new species.

Congratulations.

Feel free to ask for help if you need. You must publish it soon with better illustrations.
