I have checked it so many times in vain. But, then I tried to look outside India and I came across a species called Eulophia dentata. Seems like a good match but I am not sure. Its not always good to identify just with one picture. Whatever it is, it is a new record for India. Or, it is a deformed form of Eulophia graminea. But I have seen lot of graminea across its range. I have known many Eulophia too but I have never seen a labellum with such dentate margin of midlobe. The reason why I have been careful these days before attaching a name is that I made a mistake recently and I have lost my confidence. But trust me I tried hard to make this out.. Could very well be a new species. Thanks and regards Pankaj
