Porpax jerdoniana (Wight ) Rolfe
Porpax jerdoniana (Wight ) Rolfe growing on a tree
This orchid loves deep shade with dampness. Seen near the waterfalls or streams in deep rain forests...The dark purple color of the leaves match that of the bark of the tree, thus giving them a natural camouflage .. Not easily spotted...Not a commonly seen orchid...Blooms in July ..Aug... I found them at an altitude of around 100-150m above MSL...
