Largest, most beautiful and fragrant ground orchid presently in flowering in western ghats. This plant can be traced from its fragrance which spreads to several meters distance. Local name is Waghchoura on account of its dissected lateral lobes of lip looking like whiskers of Tiger. The size of flowers is also imposing. Large tubers of this plant are dug out by wild boars which is major natural set back to this rare plant besides collection by greedy humans. Regards
