Eria carinata Gibson ex Lindl (Orchidaceae).
Eria... from the Greek erio (wool) in reference to the outside of the
perianth and carinata from Latin carinatus (keeled ) in reference to
the sepals (Please see the flower again).
But there is view that this plant flowered in Calcutta and been given
the name Eria carinata by Gibson. (Pankaj Sir, is there any
refernces)
