No sir, I think this is Peristylus calcaratus.

Here is a pic of tentaculatus, you can check the spur.

Thanks and regards

Thanks, Pankaj ji 

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Sorry I have been so confused with this.

There is a prominent difference between three plants

Peristylus tentaculatus: scrotiform spur.

Peristylus calcaratus: spur is elongated and a bit angular with two lobed apex.

Peristylus aristatus: Slightly elongated but rounded apex.

Your plant and the plant on Bhakta's orchid book are Peristylus aristatus. Even my pics of P. tentaculatus and P. calcaratus are correctly identified but they are not similar to the plant shared by Saroj sir.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Some sketches to aid in identification is attached herewith.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

Dear Pankaj,

I guess you have validated later this as  Peristylus aristatus Lindl.  since the Peristylus calcaratus

is not listed in Nepal.

Could you please confirm??

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Pankaj Kumar]

Yes this should be Peristylus aristatus with that spur.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Pankaj

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you Pankaj !

Images in IOSPE, FoI and some threads from efi look different from my sp.

Earlier I have notified that Peristylus calcaratus has got no distribution in Nepal, but the book published later

has mentioned its distribution in Nepal. I guess this should be Peristylus calcaratus (Rolfe) S.Y.Hu.

Please have a look.
