Yes they dont open completely. When I saw this plant for first time, I was waiting for it to open as I was not sure what it was !! It has a cleisogamous flower.
Interesting piece of information and Best wishes for your research activities and publications.

This plant has been so badly interpreted since a long time. I saw this plant during my PhD field work and I identified it as Habenaria pelarioides.
Some people named it as a new genus, Odisha cleistantha but I dont agree, then it got new name in Vietnam which I dont agree either.
Please put in some effort and we can resolve this.
spellings could be wrong. Thanks … for yor feedback. Unfortunately the bloom time is over now. One thing that I observed was that the flowers did not open up at all. They used to get dark within possibly due to insect pests….. Now that I know the location I will keep a watch Uploading some more images of flowers that were manually opened. Hope these may help. Attachments (7) Yes it is the same orchid, Habenaria pelorioides.
