Interesting…..
\nI will confirm later.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

ya looks a very small orchid..<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
This looks like Conchidium microchilos<\/i>, but it is important to check the bulb before confirming. One single pic of closeup of flower may look good but it doesnt aid in identification. It has a very close ally, Conchidium filiforme<\/i> found in the same locality.<\/span><\/div>\n

Kindly examine and identify this Conchidium<\/i> sp (Orchidaceae<\/i>)…..I think the flowers are not arranged on one side but borne in zig-zag racemes.. Could this be Conchidium microchilos<\/i>…???\u00a0<\/span>

I think this is Conchidium microchilos<\/i>. Beautiful flowers.\u00a0Did you see that fly actually pollinating the flower?<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thanks … The fly happend to just vroom in when I was focussing. The next moment it was gone. Didn’t actually see it sitting on the flowers. Nevertheless many such flies were visting the bunch but couldnt take pics<\/p>\n

These epiphytic orchids were observed somewhere<\/span> near Mulshi(Western ghats) in july or August.<\/span> I know it’s difficult to ID with only these details.<\/div>\n
Can someone suggest possible ID<\/div>\n
Bulbs are seen with a small unopened inflorescence.<\/div>\n
? Bulbophylum<\/em>?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Eria muscicola<\/em> (Lindl.) Lindl. ??<\/p>\n

\n

This looks like Conchidium microchilos<\/em> to me but cant confirm without flowers. Thanks a lot for sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Thanks … What does those bulbous structures indicate. Is it peculiar for a particular group\/Family or genus??<\/p>\n

\n

Sir, Those are pseudostems and found in many Eria<\/em> (broadly speaking), even Dendrobium<\/em> and others.<\/p>\n

\n

Ok, thanks.<\/p>\n
