Anoectochilus elatus Lindl is a terrestrial saprophytic orchid, golden brown leaves, shining, observed from Kodaikanal area of Tamilnadu

I am not sure with this picture but Anoectochilus roxburghii is also found in south India and secondly this is not saprophytic orchid. Thanks a lot for sharing.

This does look like Anoectochilus elatus. But cant confirm without flowers!
