Habenaria edgeworthii from Valley of Flowers and Chakrata Yes Habenaria edgeworthii.
Chakrata, Uttarakhand Lovely Closeup…
I had seen this terrestrial orchid around 40 cm in height along “Govindghat-Ghangaria trail”. Wonderful pics. Another orchid from my yesterday’s walk. … had helped identify another similar orchid from here as Platanthera latilabris. This one looked very similar but had distinctly more yellow to it. Please advise if it is the same species, a variation or another distinct species. On Mcleodganj-Triund trek, HP
2500m approx.
31 July 2016 No this is Platanthera edgeworthii (=Habenaria edgeworthii). Spur goes up and curves down like monkey tail. Latilabris spur is much shorter than this.
I had first thought that I had found P. edgeworthii but later on closer look found the bracts slightly longer than ovaries and lips broad at base and tapering down. I think this should be Platanthera latilabris. Please advise.
Gallu-Triund trek, Dharamshala, HP
2400m and above

I think yes, your id is right, pics are very beautiful..!! This is indeed Platanthera edgeworthii and not latilabris.       
Some more Orchids for ID_211010_RKC_02 – efloraofindia | Google Groups . SK 3028 09 October 2021: 9 very high res. images.
Location: Jumla, West Nepal Altitude: 2365m. Date: 17 August 2021 Habit : Wild Platanthera edgeworthii (Hook.f. ex Collett) R.K.Gupta. ?? Habenaria edgeworthii or Platanthera! I could not decide … ! Some confusion ! What I meant is this is 100% Habenaria edgeworthi. Some people call it Platanthera edgeworthii, others call it Herminium edgeworthii.
I have seen the plant many times, and each time I saw a Habenaria there with a pair of typical projecting finger like stigma, but a bit short!
Thank you … So we take accepted name as Habenaria edgeworthii!
Go with the wind!! . References:
