This doesnt look like Vanda to me. I need to check atleast fruit of dry floral stalks. If I had to guess then looking at the broad and dense leaves and leaf a[ex, I could have gone for Rhynchostylis retusa. But not even 50% sure of it. I will have to check what species are there. I am at Delhi for few days. Cant access much informations from net. Pankaj
