I am a bit confused. Need to check further as I said before, but then I forgot. According to some references, Epipactis royleana is not found in India but Epipactis gigantea is. According to other references, Epipactis gigantea is not found in India but Epipactis royleana is!!! Wow so great life!!!! Now where do I get the specimens to study? Deva and Naithani (1986) and Jalal (2011) do not list E. royleana in their books!! Pankaj
