MS April, 2020/01 Liparis sp. for id : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (5) Altitude : ca 1,650 m. Date : 12-04-2020 Habit : Herb Habitat : Wild Looks like Liparis deflexa but not sure ! It is Liparis dongchenii Lucksom I cant see what I need to see, so I cant confirm. I just came back from field trip. Climbed a mountain to see one orchid, sat there for 2 hours to take one good pic. This was my second trip because last time it was in buds. Please have patience to take pics and as I have always suggested, multiple pics from multiple angles. I can see a lack of patience here. Flower is just open, not yet resupinate. Please go again after 2-3 days and take better pics. It is obviously Liparis and obviously not a Liparis deflexa (there is no oil gland on the centre of labellum …). I dont know the species, Liparis dongchenii. What I see here is so similar to Liparis sootenzanensis but it is not known from India. This plant as I see is deformed. New to India ?? Ok this is another new record for India. Congratulations. Liparis sootenzanensis. Wonderful find. You should get it published … Did someone already publish it? It has been reported as new record for India in 2017. |
