This can be Peristylus constrictus, but cant confirm !! This whole tribe of Orchideae (including Habenaria, Platanthera, Herminium, Pecteilis etc, have similar leaves, But Peristylus doesnt have leaves apressed to ground… atleast I have never heard of, but they do have funnel shaped leaves in the beginning…

Another confusion for me. Is this a terrestrial orchid?: 1 image.

Yes !

If I had to guess, this is Peristylus constrictus. But cant be confirmed without flowers.
