I think I would like to call this Cymbidium tracyanum.

Yes, appears more closer as per images at
https://travaldo.blogspot.com/2021/10/cymbidium-gammieanum-gammies-cymbidium.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 Saroj sir 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.

Best regards

This key could be of help. However, there is no gammieanum on the key. It covers three species at least.

Best of luck

I guess you are right Dr. Kumar.

So, my images are Cymbidium tracyanum, and the GBIF images from

Mr. Basu Dev Neupane is C. erythraeum. !

Thank you.

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.
