Interesting species Surajit Ji. The Book "Plants of Indian Botanic Garden" by H.J.Chowdhery & D.S.Pandey (2007) page-96 informs that *Didymoplexis pallens* Griff. is a saprophytic, leafless, ephemeral delicate, tuberous terrestrial herb, 5.5-60 cm tall. Fls white. Fls and Frt in May-July. More interesting fact is that the species was described from Royal (now Indian) Botanic Garden Sibpore Calcutta in 1844. Recollected from garden after a long interval in 1885, 1889. Disappeared again and was recollected in 1960, 1979 and lastly in 2005. Pics are also given in the book. Though it has to be confirmed whether the pics are of D.pallens or not which is difficult without seeing the pics.
