Dear J M Garg,
As pointed out in another post

are very rare too. There is
This is Bunchosia armeniaca (Malpighiaceae). A small tree or shrub from
South America that is occasionally grown in gardens in Sri Lanka for its

This is a typical royleana, with uniformly purple, rather small, closed,

Dear Anzar,
I don't think that this is Epipactis royleana, which has uniformly purple,
rather closed and hanging flowers, with the seed pods often swollen up (due
to self-pollination?); see http://www.orchidspecies.com/epiproyleana.htm,

rather closed and hanging flowers, with the seed pods often swollen up (due
to self-pollination?); see http://www.orchidspecies.com/epiproyleana.htm
