Habenaria dentata from todays hike in Hong Kong.

---

love it. i can see flying humanoids esp in number 2 & 3

---

I suspect this is there in south India with a different name or may be with same name. Lot of troubles in taxonomy of this species.

---

yes i have seen some pictures from the south, one of the ghats, but am blanking the name/place right now it will come to me sooner or later. someday you will direct a vast botanical organization in india that will classify, organize etc etc the terrestrial and epiphytic etc orchids of the whole of india and it will happen in my lifetime. here’s to hoping

---

Hahahaha, Thanks too kind of you to say 🙂
There is already an organisation in India to do that, hope they can d something for themselves….

New Orchid species endemic to Nepal. : 5 posts by 4 authors.

May be interesting for Orchid lovers.

I am so surprised. Both Calanthe and Habenaria are deformed. The Habenaria is Habenaria dentata’s deformed. Not yet sure about the Calanthe.
I will talk to … when we meet soon, later this month.

Habenaria malintana (Blanco) Merr.: 5 very high res. images.

Yes this is deformed form of Habenaria dentata, which is infact the case with Habenaria malintana too. Habenaria dentata is a self compatible species which seems also to lose pollen from its own pollinia on its stigma. This causes a lot of inbreeding, resulting in showing up of a lot of deformities. And hence so many names and fake new species both from India and abroad. Very interesting to see it still has a spur attached to it. Habenaria malintana has a very tiny spur or almost none. My idea was not to merge all under H. dentata but to keep the spurred plant with H. dentata and non-spurred plant with H. malintana.
I would call this a deformed Habenaria dentata.

SK 3876 11 October 2023 – Orchidaceae: 4 very high res. images.
Location: Chobhar, Kathmandu, Nepal

One of the forms of Habenaria pelarioides.
Habenaria pelarioides on the contrary is a deformed form of Habenaria dentata and both of them have so many fake names from India, China, Vietnam. Indians also made a fake genus Odisha.

Yes sir here also there is a spur, so it’s my mistake. It’s good to keep under H. dentata!!
