Navendu ji, Acampe rigida, as the name suggests is rigid and robust too. The leaf base or or inflated petiole, whatever you may call it, partly sheathing the stem, is brown coloured, I thought that kind of leaf is found in Acampe but not Aerides. In Aerides that sheathing part are persistent, which is absent in this photograph, though the plant is so huge. But still I agree that you have a better knowledge of plants of Western Ghats Navendu ji. Pankaj
