Ok I am extremely sorry. There is some issue here. It was originally identified as Vanilla aphylla too, but later in 1890s it was pointed out that this was Vanilla wightiana which was a spelling mistake for Vanilla wightii. So for the time being this has to stay as Vanilla wightii, however, I think this is a very normal Vanilla aphylla. Both do not have leaves. Pankaj
