Location: Sanepa, Kathmandu, Nepal Date: 13 January 2018 Elevation: 4400 ft. Cymbidium hybrid ??? This is interesting. I thought it is not found in Nepal. Is it wild? This should be Cymbidium tracyanum. Thank you … Actually it is brought from Mirik, Darjeeling by one of my friend and planted in his garden. I will check the geographic distribution of Cymbidium tracyanum. I dont have the book of Cymbidium. Ok, I checked the monograph of Cymbidium by Puy and Cribb and they dont report Cymbidium tracyanum from either India or Nepal.
SK 2425 02 February 2020 : 7 posts by 2 authors. 5 images- 6 to 7 mb each. Location: Godawari Botaical Garden Date: 24 January 2020 Elevation: 1493m. Habitat: Cultivated Which Cymbidium? This is close to Cymbidium tracyanum .      Cymbidium iridioides D. Don: 5 very high res. images. Location: The Terrace Resort, Lankuri Bhanjyang, Lalitpur Date: 13 January 2024 Elevation: 2000 m. Habit : Cultivated I think I would like to call this Cymbidium tracyanum. Is the ID correct ? Cymbidium ×gammieanum King & Pantl. ??? Yes, appears more closer as per images at https://travaldo.blogspot.com/cymbidium-gammieanum.html http://www.orchidspecies.com/cymgammieanum.htm But it may be difficult to say anything due to numerous cultivars. Please have a look at the two slides attached and you will know. The picture of C. gammieana is from your link. I dont have an authentic picture of that species/hybrid. The rest of the images are with authentic id. The GBIF images of what is labeled as Cymbidium tracyanum shared by … is wrong. I think that is C. erythraeum. GBIF plants are not identified by experts most of the time. I just added my id there on GBIF. Hope people would agree to it. I do not agree with many of those on GBIF unless I check them personally. And, obviously, I do make mistakes too. TO ERR IS HUMAN. This key could be of help. However, there is no gammieanum on the key. It covers three species at least. I guess you are right … I meant GBIF images coming from iNaturalist are not always identified by experts. Gbif images coming from herbaria across the world are surely identified by experts.
identification : 6 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1). Twig image will help to get more key characters, please provide twig image also. Its a Cymbidium hybrid. Cymbidium hookerianum Rchb. f Its a Cymbidium need to see whole plant and flower to confirm species or hybrid. This is very much like Cymbidium tracyanum.
