O. wightiana is a wild orchid found in highland forests of Sri Lanka. Most of the time it grows on mossy stems of trees. Also this orchid grows naturally in South India.
Above photos were taken in December. IUCN Red List status is ''Near Threatened'.
I too saw them in Horton Plains. Thought an endemic one. Thanks a lot for the information
