Eria mysorensis

Eria mysorensis

Lindl . in Journ . Linn. Soc. iii. 54; speudobulbs short thick , racemes from amongst the (lanceolate) leaves curved glabrous , flowers ½ in ., sepals lanceolate acute , nerves 3-5 very strong and reticulate , petals lanceolate acute 3-nerved , side nerves branching , lip clawed entire from ovate-to oblong –lanceolate subpanduriform , side nerves usually forming arched thickened ridges .

MALABAR and DHARWAR ; on the Bababoodan Hills , Law.
This will probably prove to be a form of Eria polystachya . Lindley describes the lip ( which is very variable in size , shape , and nervation ) as wholly smooth , but though the arched ridges are sometimes slender , they are always present , and often very thick and even crenate .
