This plant takes a lot of time to flower as it flowers almost towards the end of peak rainy season. If it rains normally the plant grows normally and if suddenly there is no rain for lets say 1 week then temperature rises and hence flowers open before time. In other instance, in many species, spur takes time to elongate even after flower opens up. So to me its ok to say that this is Habenaria plantaginea only.
