Is it Eulophia spectabilis ? : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1).
Habitat : Wild. Habit : Herb ? Place : Rabung, Mizoram. Note: Probably medicinal plant.

efi page on Eulophia spectabilis

it seems like Eulophia spectabilis. But flowering specimen is required for confirmation.

This is the bulb of Eulophia nuda.

This cant be confirmed even upto genus for sure. This is somewhat spherical so it can also be Geodorum too. In Eulophia corms are typically conical or irregular.
Plant these corms back in ground and hopefully you will see flowers in next three months.

Attached herewith stem and leaves of Bulbs which already attached.
