Dear friends,
I have not seen this flower earlier; no idea. It was the sole flower there. The flower measured about 3/4th inch across. I could not make out any other aspects of it. I will be happy to know at the least the family it belongs!

Indianthus virgatus (earlier Schumanianthus)

Could be Murdannia sp,

i don’t think so, …

Segregating posts from …, clubbed due to same subject:

Herb, epiphyte.
It has needle like leaves and the flowers are white, delicate.

Looks like Orchid

I could be wrong, but the white flowers and the longish inflorescence remind of https://www.flowersofindia.WhiteIndianthus.html
Here [ http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=5711&cat=7 ] it’s mentioned under different name though!!
Perhaps closer examination is required with pics of leaves and whole plant.
