This could be one of the smallest, but not sure. Very delicate/elegant
and sensitive to heat. Hence if temperature rises, this plant is going
to get extinct from Himalayas soon.

Yeah, sure.
I was alone and tired in VoF when I saw this plant and got back my
energy. No one was there to take a pic of me with this plant. I took a
nap next to this beauty at 3600m asl in open.
Finding these Cypripediums was a divine experience for me. Three

Thanks for this very important series. Missing the local names. I have to
check my database for the local names in Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and
surrounding areas. For example Vanda is known as Kauagodi in Chhattisgarh
Plains. The southern Chhattisgarh it is considered similar to Majurgodi.
Thanks for the information. When I posted the picture of Vanda to my
farmers, traders and Healers of Jharkhand I received over 150 responses with
tens of local names with interesting stories. Bandar Kanwa is one of these
names. In North Chhattisgarh Bandar changes into Bendra.
Orchid was not by
those are cute names. I assume godi means laps? Crow's Laps, Peacock's
Laps. What do you think they are related to
Very commonly Vanda is called BANDA by the tribals of JHK. But that is
meant for anything growing on other trees. Specifically they call
Vanda tessellata as Bandar Kanwa, may
hehehehefor sure orchids have high potential for medicinal value,
you just need to know and understand. Any plant which is succulent or
xerophytic in nature stores a lot of alkaloids and other active
constituents in them which is the main source of their medicinal
properties. You never know,
I see the point there. I am wrong. Sorry for the mistake and thanks
for correcting.

TAXONOMISTS GETTING EXTINCT AND SPECIES DATA DEFICIENT !!

On second thought, I doubt your plant to be Ranunculus pulchellus.
Leaf margin is supposed to be lobed in pulchellus and the flower is
supposed to be solitary, but yours is entire with branched
inflorescence.
I may be wrong though, but I thought your plant could be new record
for India, Ranunculus
Flora of British India places this species in a group with entire leaves
with a note sometimes lobed in R. pulchellus. As such entire leaves are a
rule and lobed an aberration. I have many more specimens of this from
Ladakh near Leh. Flora of China also writes leaves sometimes three-lobed.
Please
Dicranostigma lactucoides has 2-4 stigmas present on distinct styles, the
pedicel (scape) is not more than 8 cm

Here is link to another species D. diphyllum (syn: Stylophorum diphyllum)
Really nice treat of orchids today, thanks for showing us such a good
collection and diversity.

I am hesitant to agree with this. I am talking about your herbarium
and not Nuds plant!! I still say, I may be wrong..
Key in flora of China says:
Stems 15–20 cm; blades of basal leaves ovate, elliptic, or obovate,
base broadly cuneate or cuneate, 1–3-denticulate on each sideR.
Thanks Pankaj ji
What a coincidence. After reading your earlier mails I went through the
whole key starting from begining and imagine where I reached:
R. nephelogenes var. longicaulis, the variety with petals almost equalling
sepals. The description matched. I went back to Flora of British India
Thanks a lot for resolving the issue finally. One of my biggest
problem is, I dont get taxonomically satisfied so easily, and
secondly, I dont start well if it is not an orchid.

Let us wish we have many more such fruitful interactions. Can you please
check from Indian revision of Ranunculaceae (Fascicles or any other recent
one) the status of this taxon? Obviously FBI considered this as mere
variation of R. pulchellus.
