Orchidaceae fortnight :: Habenaria FOR ID :: Bhimbetka :: DV45 :  5 images. 10 posts by 3 authors.

Habenaria ¿ species ?
Habit: herb, standing about 25 – 30 cm
Habitat: under cover of large trees, among ground cover of other grass and herbs
Altitude: about 1900ft (580m) asl
Most of its leaves grow close to ground (about 4 – 5), and appear spread on ground. About 1 or 2 smaller leaves are found above ground. The flower is about 15 mm across.

This is Habenaria plantaginea.

---

I was strongly thinking so. I discouraged myself from guessing because the spur in this case were not as long as those I have at Kas sighting !! Thank you very much for the ID.

---

Dont worry, he must have washed his spur with bad detergent and hence it got shrunk :P…
It is still plantaginea !!

Habenaria plantaginea
Please check the spelling.
I have a cute story related with this when I saw it for the first time in wild.

---

Beautiful orchid and photograph. I have set this as my mobile screen.

Habit: Herb 

Habitat: Wild, terrestrial, deciduous forest, amidst grass 

Sighting: Near Hassan, Karnataka, about 900 msl

Yes sir this is indeed Habenaria plantaginea but the habitat is so different and very late flowering too. I have always seen this plant inside Sal forests usually in shade and never close to grasses.

This should be Habenaria plantaginea.
