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

Near Leithum, Champhai-Vangchhia road, Mizoram

1300m approx.

08 February, 2020.

Please help identify it.

Thanks.

Ashwini

Or perhaps Coelogyne viscosa?

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.

Best regards

Pankaj
