Habenaria grandifloriformis Blatt. & McCann , J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. 36: 17 1932. (Syn: Habenaria grandiflora Lindl. ex Dalzell & Gibson [Illegitimate]);       Habenaria grandifloriformis flowering : Yes this is Habenaria grandifloriformis. Grandifloriformis means, BIG FLOWER BEARING, hence logically it should be named as BIG FLOWER BEARING HABENARIA, though there are many other species which bears much bigger flower :)). By the way, this is an endemic orchid of India. some Habenaria grandifloriformis pictures from me
Beautiful orchid. Thanks for sharing sir. It is endemic to India. It is indeed difficult to differentiate the two H.grandifloriformis & H. rariflora from flowers. I had posted a key from Orchids of Bombay – Santapau & Kapadia few years ago. Following is the link to the key from my earlier post. Fr. Santapau has differentiated the flowers on anthers : H. rariflora : anthers rounded on top H. grandifloriformis : anthers distinctly tricuspidate but merely identifying only from images of flowers is near to impossible. The leaves indeed confirms the id. You know there is another species Habenaria diphylla. This plant has both type of leaves as in rariflora and grandifloriformis.       Habenaria grandifloriformis for sharing: Life cycle in all Habenarias are very simple. They multiply vegetatively as well as sexually.

Habitat: marshy river banks of Lonavala Maharashtra Looks like Habenaria grandifloriformis. Thank you sir indeed Habenaria grandifloriform, very interesting part is the presence of a Single leaf. The species seems to be endemic and confined to little higher altitude of Shayadri hills. They seem to be in danger thanks to pollution and littering of the Shayadri hills by the unruly Mumbai tourists.
