Dear All
Please find a photo of a Disperis attached.
Is this Disperis zeylanica? Some books seem to mention Disperis zeylanica and Disperis neilgherrensis as two distinct species, but plant list says they are same!!Please find a photo of a Disperis attached.

Wonderful...
This should be Desperis zeylanica.
Some guy sitting in South Africa studied these two without actually
seeing the live specimens. They are very distinct and the first one
finds mention in the protologue of second also.

Thanks for the id confirmation. If I am not mistaken this one has its brothers and sisters in Africa. Probably they got separated when the continents got formed?!

Orchids can travel to greater distances due to their light seeds
unlike animals. Disperis is also found in Hong Kong.
