Yes sir, the main issue is for me I will need proper flowers of both to dissect and study. From pics, they do look different from normal Habenaria panchaganiensis. The biggest question, HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE MAKES IT REALLY DIFFERENT. If they are not occuring together with each other but isolated then surely they can atleast be a new variety. Unfortunately Indian laws doesnt allow you to send material outside otherwise it would take less than one week for me to check morphology as well as DNA. Best of luck Pankaj
