    Photographed it in March 07 in Manas National Park in North-east India. It was found under a bush. Is it a ground Orchid? Please help identify.

    This is one I've never seen. But I checked Aristolochia sp. They are members of Aristolochiaceae or the Birthwort family and are unrelated to orchids.
