Thank you Rashida ji, the key brings in more food for thought. I am
yet to see E. pubescens and E. mysorensis. Can you pls provide
locations where they can be searched? 'Orchids of Bombay' gives E.

It is difficult to attempt an ID even when many features are visible; here I
think only leaves are visible. Anybody attempting an ID is mere guessing
with one visible character,considering the two responses we got. I think it

is not diagonistic to this plant. Theseholes may be dure to insect or fungal
invasion! Kindly check couple of more photos from the link provided below,
an intact plant doesn't have these holes.
