A rare orchid species known as ground orchid has been rediscovered in India. The scientific name of the orchid is Eulophia obtusa. The species was originally described from Uttarakhand in the 19th century. It was collected by botanists from Gangetic plains but there have been no sightings in the past 100 years. A detailed survey would allow scientists and authorities to take steps towards conservation. | The Times of India
