Photographed this growing on a rock face. Looks like a Cymbidium species but I am not entirely sure.

---

Or perhaps Coelogyne viscosa?

I guess you hit the Bull’s eye!

This is Coelogyne viscosa. The image of spread-up always helps in this genus and many others.
I checked the original description of Coelogyne viscosa and it writes linear-lanceolate leaf, so I think Coelogyne graminifolia which also has similar leaves is correctly merged under this, but the problem is, the type has been lost long time back so no way to compare. Thanks for sharing beautiful pics.
