I was using both name as synonyms (I shall provide reference for this later). But, now, I am sure that they are not synonymous. http://www.theplantlist.org/browse/A/Orchidaceae/Pholidota/
Thanks to Singh Ji and Pankaj for clarification. Further, I think, the identification by Pankaj Ji is correct and please ignore my id. I think the picture in Dinesh Ji's Photo stream in the following link would also be P.imbricata. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5592368919/ If flower picture is available then it would be easy to confirm the same.
