During the present study, the keikis were found on leaf apex of Eulophia graminea Lindl., a terrestrial orchid species found in Odisha. The
species though a threatened species at many places, has been designated as Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) species by
the Florida Keys Invasive Species Exotics Task Force due to its invasive nature. The species has medicinal importance and is being used
for curing several chronic diseases since long, in India. Hence, the presently reported unique propagation method of the species may be
a blessing or a matter of serious concern amongst the scientists.
