Nice clear pictures, Prejith...I learned the fundamentals of orchids of Kerala from Dr. Abraham's book way back in 1983..Pleased to know that this orchid is named after him..
ReplyDeleteThanks Jose. That book is supposed to be very informative though I've never seen it. I've ordered one for myself from TBGRI.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of L.abrahamii. I have never come across this orchid in any of my field trips to Anamalais, Nilgiris or high ranges. Priced catch.
