Pankaj boss, Sorry for putting too fine a point on it, but cornu means horn. And when culata is added at the end, it generally means short - e.g. calyculata means short calyx. Now adding a "longi" before corniculata is weird! Must have an interesting explanation. However, with such a long tail, Long-Tailed Habenaria is a natural name for Habenaria longicorniculata. - Tabish
