Cymbidium, commonly called boat orchid, is a genus of about 70 species[1] of tropical and subtropical orchids in the Orchidaceae (orchid) family.
The genus is mainly found in Asia, although some species are endemic to northern Australia. Orchids of the Cymbidium genus are terrestrial, lithophytic, epiphytic, or, rarely, leafless saprophytic herbaceous plants, mostly with pseudobulbs.
