Eulophias flowers or initiates floral stalk just before monsoon in the peak heat of summer and they grow in warm areas. In central India yes, this particular species is not so uncommon. during that period but hard to find as people dont go out to field in 45 degree celcius. I remember photographic this plant above 40 degree in the afternoon. First pic is from Chatra district and second and third is from outskirts of Ranchi district. This species should be there in sal forest at lower elevations in Uttarakhand. Pankaj
