Muthu-ji Very interesting plant. Pls give some more details such as plant height and leaf size. I could not find the "front view" of a flower; It is "two lipped" but was it having flaring limbs and the limb tips lobed : 2-lobes on top, 3-lobes below ?
The best refs I found are : Oxford herbaria-Mark Carrine <http://herbaria.plants.ox.ac.uk/bol/content/Projects/oxford/ops/ops5.pdf> and N,Sasidharan-Kerala Plarts <http://www.keralaplants.in/index.html> It could be *Stenosiphonium cordifolium * (Vahl) Alston , which is described as distributed in Pen. India and SriLanka. and this genus seems to be not fully researched and rare. So it is definitely worth seeking again. regards A.Sinha On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 1:40 PM, J.M.
