DV :: 24JUN12 – 0947 :: Eulophia ¿ herbacea ? at Yeoor Hills:
… ID please … Eulophia ¿ herbacea ?

Place: Yeoor Hills (part of Sanjay Gandhi National Park) … about 1000 ft asl
Time: Jun 24, 2012 around 9.45am
Habit: herb
Habitat: rocky soil, deciduous forest
Plant height: about 50 – 60 cm

This is wonderful find. I too think this as Eulophia herbacea. Cool colours.

Really these were a pleasant surprise, and somewhere around this sighting were Eulophia ochreata too.
Both these made my day.

Very interesting and beautiful pic. I am always confused with this.

This surely looks like Eulophia herbacea but doesnt match with the herbacea I shared before.

Very interestingly there is another plant with looks similar, Eulophia bicallosa but it is not reported from Maharasta,

I will dig in further and get back.

Many thanks dear …
Will consider my plant to be Eulophia herbacea; … is sure about the ID.

Dont worry sir, I am also sure about your ID :))
