plants around 30-40 cm in height 
flowering seen
Location– Forest area near the Barkagaon (Jharkhand), 
date I saw in flowering is : 12-6-2013, season is pre monsoon,
the plants average height are 30-40 cm and flower size is 3 cm   

This is really interesting. Its a rare orchid (not classified according to IUCN though). But often misidentified as Geodorum recurvum.


Another nice collection. Liked it.


Is it also known as June Lily?
