Dear Sir, There are only 6 species of Pleione in India and one detailed study of the floral structure I could make out the correct species. If you look at the labellum, P. saxicola is the only species among the 6 of India which has smooth margin and such dark pink colour. I am sorry for incorrect id before. I think I had overlooked.... Regards Pankaj
