Nervilia aragoana Gaudich.
at Kanakeshwar forest on 23 JUN 12


So Beautiful leaves….


This is funny 🙂 but I hope this is aragoana !!


… we (me and …) were not lucky to get the plant in flower, but … did.
If you find this clearly a different species, I would prefer to label it just as Nervilia sp.

Nervilia aragoana Gaudich., Voy. Uranie: 422 (1829).
Synonyms:
Pogonia nervilia Blume, Mus. Bot. 1: 32 (1849).
This is a widespread species and recently merged with Nervilia concolor. But I have yet to confirm.

Excellent Presentation

Please help me to identify this species. This is a scanned photographs from old collection. I named it as Nervilia aragoana in my folder. I might be wrong, please help me to know the species.

Pace: Assam
Date: March,05

Yes this is Nervilia but not sure about aragoana. Cant confirm the species from this image. Thanks a lot for sharing.


On second thought, this reminds me so much of Nervilia juliana which is found in Assam. But need better pics to confirm.


Pl. post better and other images or high resolution image of this one.


I don’t have other images of this species.


Thanks, …, Than post high resolution image of this one.

This looks so much like Nervilia concolor (=Nervilia aragoana). Need to see leaves and a better pic.

Plants of Nervilia aragona feel homely in Gujarat forests. We found a good population of this otherwise threatened orchid here 🙂

Leaves are so beautiful. We will wait for flowers………..


Great this should be Nervilia aragoana or Nervilia gammieana, cant be confirmed without flowers.


Most possibly Nervilia concolor (=N. aragoana) but flowers are needed to confirm.
