Yes, …, I am tackling all the old posts which contain the name compilation.

Earlier they were made in Google Sites – which Google wanted that they be converted to “new” sites. The “Classic” sites which do not get converted to “New” are going to disappear soon.

I hope you remember I had posted this 4 years ago and we were unable to conclude on the species id.
I am yet to collect the specimen. For time being, I have kept these under H.foliosa which is very common in the area and feel the id is correct.

Yes sir, this is Habenaria foliosa.

Habenaria gibsonii?? en-route Matheran- PKA-Aug05 : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (8)
Seen this Habenaria sp. en-route Matheran.
Could this be Habenaria gibsonii??

Habenaria gibsonii………………….


I place this under Habenaria foliosa… We should wait for others comments/opinions.


Did you smell the flower?


Anyways, I prefer to call this Habenaria foliosa. …, I consider Habenaria foliosa and Habenaria gibsonii as two different species. I am pretty sure about it. Please check if you can find both and write some article on it with …


Yes, i did smell the flower and let was not bad….


Should be foliosa.


Habenaria foliosa


Are those Geodorums next to Habenaria in the first pic?

Commelinaceae sp for ID- 100810-PKA1 : Attachments (4). 7 posts by 5 authors.
Came across this herb (Commelinaceae sp.). at Matheran hills. I could spot only the flower buds..
Date/Time: 17-07-2010/ 12:10PM
Location: Matheran

Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Herb (15 to 20cm)

Flower buds: White coloured


Sounds interesting to me, but, why you said this is Commelinaceae…… why not Orchidaceae?
This could be Habenaria foliosa or gibsoni or panigrahianaHabenaria digitata has green flowers but belongs to the same group.
Let the flower open then click some more pics and dont forget to smell the flower….!! and let us know whether you liked it or not :)).


Some Habenaria from Orchidaceae. Might be Habenaria digitata


Habenaria digitata has green flowers!!


I would agree this is not orchid


Surprising, why you do not agree …?
I feel it is Orchid. 10 years past, the best thing we can do is (hope … will be okay with it) visit the place again and see it in blooming!


OK I agree to …, this should be Pecteilis gigantea.


Ok sorry, I reused my brain a bit. I think this is Habenaria foliosa.
Sorry for all confusion!!

Is this Habenaria panchaganensis


Looks like it is Habenaria gibsoni.
Could be var. gibsoni or var. foetida depending on scent.
I have another photograph that was clicked at Lohagad. This was in an undergrowth.


This is further to my below email. I would like to correct it.
I re-checked the Habenaria key but unfortunately after sending the email.
It is not Habenaria gibsoni that I had guessed.
It is some other Habenaria that I couldnt arrive at.
But it is certainly neither H.panchganensis.
Am equally eager to know what it is.
Probably … is the best person to comment on what it is.
apologies for incorrect posting.

I have seen this plant and today i spent whole of my second half of the day in vain identifying the plant.
This is not….
digitata
gibsoni var. gibsoni (=foliosa)
gibsoni var. foetida
panchaganensis
grandifloriformis
stenopetala
panigrahiana
 var. panigrahiana
panigrahiana var. parviloba

….. which place has this been collected from.
I have a slight doubt on the other pic provided by … too, they dont look very similar. The lobes of labellum in … plant are parallel where as it is divergent in the original. But the plant is interesting to me so I will try again with other references.


I photographed it at Matheran, near Mumbai.


I had located the specimen at Lohagad – near Lonavala.


I think this is one of the three varieties of Habenaria foliosa, but I may be wrong


I have never heard of any varieties of foliosa by the way!! Can you please enlighten me more on this.


Beautiful, Habenaria foliosa.
