Sorry, I just had a relook at your description. I will again sound like a critic but I truly wish to help you. Send this description to any one you know , I am sure most of them will not even think of this as an orchid, even if someone thinks, they can't reach to Habenaria. Your description has lot of mistakes marked in bold: Tuberous geophyte, 20-30 cm tall. Tuber globose, 1-2cm across. Leaves alternate, lamina elliptic-lanceolate, 5-10 × 1.5-3.5cm, margin entire. Flowers greenish, 1.5-2cm long, on 15-20 cm long terminal lax spike. Bracts ovate-lanceolate. Sepals 3, oblique, *similar attached to the top of the ovary*. *Petals 6*, greenish, entire, linear, lip spurred, 3 lobed, mid lobe narrow and longer than laterals. *Pollinia enclosed in tubes*. Ovary inferior, *3 lobed*, oblong. Capsule curved and beaked; seeds many, dusty. Main characters of Habenaria lies in rostellum and stigma on the rostellum which are missing.
