Yes, as Satishji says the former has 1-2 ovate leaves lying flat on ground and the latter has 2-5 oblong leaves on the stem. From just the flower this is H. rariflora because of midlobe of lip broader and lateral lobes longer than midlobe. In H. grandifloriformis the midlobe is narrow and lateral lobes equal the midlobe. The former has finished flowering in July while the latter may be finishing now. In any case description of whole plant helps others to know the plant better. Regards
