What ever pics I have seen so far, are actually Herminium josephi and it is very well found in Uttarakhand. NOW it is called Androcorys josephi. The very basic difference between H. josephi and H. monorchis is the labellum which is entire in josephi and trilobed in monorchis which is very well evident in all the pics. Ofcourse I can be wrong at times as I am looking at the pics and not the real plant in my hand. Pankaj
