Manipur identifications 4: It looks like Eulophia graminea to me. I agree. My dear friends, to me this looks like a Cymbidium cyperifolium 🙂 I would agree. Here is a close up of the same plant from the same spot on Khiayang Phung, Manipur Thanks dear … I stand corrected! It’s somewhat differ from Cymbidium cyperifolium; it’s may be Cymbidium ensifolium…. please inform the altitude and how many flowers in the inflorescence….. Petals and sepals are more roundish in Cymbidium ensifolium as far as I remember and it is narrower in Cymbidium cyperifolium. Leaves are slightly broader in ensifolium too.
