Location:  Pharping
Date: 13 July 2020
Elevation: 1786 m.
Habitat: Wild
Inflorescence and stem is short and small. Could it be Liparis nervosa (Thunb.) Lindl. ??

Cant make this out, but surely a Liparis and deformed. Cant remember of such big plant with such short inflorescence but as I said, it looks deformed.

Ok … It was on very shady location. May be deformed as you have indicated.

It is possible that this is Liparis nervosa, a deformed version. I need to see the flower from front.

I guess Liparis nervosa (Thunb.) Lindl. is the correct ID.  http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~flower_world/Orchids/Liparis%20nervosa.htm.
