Thank you Mr.Ingalhalikar and Dr.Pankaj Kumar. As seen from the personal communication sent to us by Dr.Pankaj ...Luisia laurifolia var.evangalinae [as mentioned in Dr.Almeida's "Flora of Maharashtra"] is a syn.of Aerides dalzelliana ; syn. Gastrochilus dalzelliana.

Will however go with the new name Smithsonia viridiflora as suggested by Dr.Pankaj.

Regards,

Neil Soares.

based on species of Blatter, its not a syn of Aerides dalzelliana,
Gastrochilus dalzelliana or Smithsonia viridiflora
