Shrikant ji , here's the info. - E. mysorensis Lindl.- Flowers-July- October,
Distribution: Mahabaleshwar, koina valley, Konkan, Satara. E.pubescens (Hook) Lindl. Flowers- April-May. Distribution : Pune! That's good news for you! but one info. on pg 44 I quote "Eria pubescens Wt.Icon. 1634, 1852 (on plate. E. platyphylla) is this species and E. polystachya Wt. are both found in NIlgiris. Wight has figured both and described, but on plates he has interchanged the names. There is another E. pubescens (Hook.)Lindl, which is from north, Himalayan region, which Laxminarsimhan has recorded from Poona. I doubt if he was referring to Wight's Southern Indian species or North Indian one". All the best. regards, Rashida.
