It would be nice if you can add the locations of this images.

This was from my personal collection grown in Bangalore.

Thanks for letting me know. I imagine if this is found in wild in western Ghats? May be … will know. Bulbophyllum guttulatum is found in Northeast India.

---

Yes. This is found in the Western Ghats. A very small species though. The flowers are probably 1/2 cm and the leaves are probably 2-3 inches long. The Bulbophyllum guttulatum is indeed from the NE.

96 ID wild plant Orchid:

Cleisostoma tenuifolium (L.) Garay

---

Thanks, …, for id as Cleisostoma tenuifolium

Possibly Cleisostoma, may be tenuifolium. I need to see the leaves. Cleisostoma is not so easy. They all look the same but then pollinia differs.
