Botanical name: Thelasis longifolia Family: Orchidaceae (Orchid family)
Long-Leaf Thelasis is a small sized orchid found
growing on trees, with a conical pseudobul. The plant carries a single,
apical, narrowly oblong to inverted-lanceshaped leaf, which tapers
below into the stalkless base leaf. The plant blooms in the spring
through early summer on an erect, hairless, 14-18 cm long, somewhat
densely many flowered inflorescence. Flowers are about 5 mm in size.
Long-Leaf Thelasis is found in Assam and the eastern Himalayas in
tropical valleys.
