Nice.
There is one very interesting thing about vegetative propagation of this
species.
It can be easily grown by the stem cuttings. Obviously you will not cut the
main stem but the leafy branches. But no matter how you keep, the branches
always behave as branches and they never stand up !!! ult
Interesting.

There are two ways to think. Is Habenaria rariflora not a sciophyte? Or
this is first interesting report of it being sciophyte?
A better term should be Habenaria rariflora growing as EPIPHYTE!!
Even while growing in grasses many orchids get shade due to grasses
including few species of Habenaria,
Ofcourse this can never be Corymborkis as they are two totally different
subtribes.

It depends on what you believe. In Jharkhand tribals have negative myths
about Gloriosa superba and hence they cut all the plants growing near their
houses.
The underground part is a white prostrate rhizome which can be used for
cultivation but these are supposed to be too poisonous for handling
Prof A.K.Pandey at Delhi University could be one of the guys to consult for
this matter :)
He expertises in the family Cucurbitaceae.

science is based on theories and not on empirical data.
I was thinking why this plant has been named as Tameshwar??? "Tam" is

This is very strange... it cant be Primula sessilis as in sessilis petals
will have pointed tips but here they are blunt two lobes. It looks like
deformed form of Primula denticulata but thats a wild guess. I might be

I humbly think that this is Acampe praemorsa. I will need picture of whole
plant to confirm. A. rigida has much longer and branhed inflorescence.
Leaves are bigger too which I cant see here.

I have been saying this from time to time that the pollination studies on

Congratulations to Santosh sir and indeed I agree with every one.
He is a good taxonomist. I met him once at TBGRI, and I found him to be a
