Plants from Northeast Tour 2017- Liparis plantaginea from Arunachal Pradesh : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)
This beautiful orchid was found growing on a tree trunk at Tippi, Arunachal Pradesh. I visited Northeast last week, covering few parts of Assam, Meghalaya and a very short entry to Arunachal Pradesh. Got some interesting plants, which I wish to add and also to identify.
Thanks … for id of this beautiful orchid, I think this species is not represented on eFI till now.

Nice find …Thanks for sharing.. Good to see plants from Arunanchal Pradesh & NE..
