Thanks, Pankaj. I just checked my thesis and what I had collected from the grassy foothills of Tiruvannamalai was *Eulophea epidendraea* (with similar looking pseudobulbs). It is called as ‘Pirappan kizhangu’ in Tamil. The local Malayali tribes make a paste out of these fleshy pseudobulbs and apply externally for treating sprains and swellings.
