Dear Prashant, Two sp. of Oberonia occur at Mahabaleshar. The O. falconeri has greenish yellow flowers and the midlobe of the lip is 5 times longer than the side lobes. The other O. recurva has orange to brick red flowers and the midlobe of lip equals the side lobes. Otherwise both plants look similar and flowers of both are barely visible ( 1.5 mm) to the naked eye, leave aside lobes of lip. In view of the greenish colouration of your plant let us label this as O. falconeri. Hope you are able to get close ups of both to be able to distinguish. Regards, Shrikant Ingalhalikar
