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. It is still in the UNID list if ID is OK . Has it got distribution in Mizoram according to Chaya Deori et al article?
