I don't think P. chinensis has winged petiole, although petiole base has
auricles sometimes, moreover inflorescence is more or less panicles, the
perianth fleshy and enlarged in fruit.
Well. This species (Peristylus densus) too seems to be one of the
most abundant species of terrestrial orchids on Kaas Plateau along
with Habenaria hyneana
I did a small count of an area (there were certain patches of
abundance, particularly on the left side of plateau) of about 50x50
Its really strange that this species is found in Central and South
China, Eastern Himalaya and Western Ghats but why it is not there in
Uttarakhand.
