Oberonia pachyrachis from Uttarakhand: May 2014 DSR_6 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2). This epiphytic orchid was shot near Jeolikot, Nainital area (Uttarakhand). Only a closer view indicated that it also contains minute flowers in addition to capsules on fleshy inflorescence axis. Flowers are born in small grooves on fleshy axis. I hope the ID is correct. Yes this is Oberonia pachyrachis. Infact Dehradun is the type locality for this species.  Sattal May 2025 :: Orchid for ID :: ARK2025-033: 1 high res. image. This was clicked in at Sattal near Nainital, Uttarakhand in May 2025. Again this is the only pic I have. Actually, I realised that I had clicked this orchid after I came back home 🙁 There are 2 sps. One looks Coelogyne and the other Oberonia, but not sure. There are so many orchids on this. Dendrobim, without flowers and leaf. Oberonia pachyrachis with fruits Pholidota articulata which is not Coelogyne. Hopefully, I have located Oberonia pachyrachis and Pholidata articulata (see attached pic). But could not locate the Dendrobium. Could you please help? . References: |
