Hello all I checked some more references including pictures and sketches of plants from Taiwan. I also looked into Khyanjeet's article and I agree that his plant is Thrixspermum formosanum. I dont have very high resolution images. But I do not see hairs on the outer surface of labellum in Khyanjeet's images. But I see hairs on Khanal's images. Can you guys confirm if its true. I think at this moment Khyanjeets plant matches more with formosanum and not with pygmaeum. I have also looked into flora of Taiwan. The illustrations of pygmaeum in flora of taiwan doesnt match with either of the members. However, lets say what if the illustration of at least pygmaeum is wrong in the book!! I have also looked into specimens from Vietnam. The plants do match well with Khyanjeet's images. And there are no hairs on outer surface of labellum.
