Great, I think somehow I missed it.... yes this is indeed Peristeria
elata, the Dove Orchid or the Holy Ghost Orchid. Yes this seems like a
wild species to me, but will try to get it confirmed from RBG, Kew
soon. The taxa is threatened due to its unscrupulous extraction from
wild. No relatives found in India unfortunately....
