When I met Dr. Misra, his exlaination was, I HAVE SEEN MORE SPECIMENS THAN YOU PANKAJ!!!, LUCKSOM HAS JUST COPIED WHAT OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN, I AM A BIG FAN OF LATE DR GUNNAR SEIDENFADEN AND DR PHILLIP CRIBB, SO I TREAT THEM AS SEPARATE SPECIES. On the basis of description, in N. prainiana leaves are more orbicular whereas it is polygonal in N. crociformis and lip has no sidelobes in N. crociformis, whereas it is distinct in N. prainiana.
