Cymbidium Eastern Message (Cymbidium insigne × Cymbidium goeringii)

Cymbidium Eastern Message, Mukoyama 2006 (RHS)

This orchid is a Cymbidium hybrid registered with the RHS. The key influencing species of this hybrid are Cymbidium insigne (50.00% section: Cyperorchis ) Cymbidium goeringii (50.00% section: Jensoa )

At the time Mr. Takehiko Mukōyama, who bred this variety, registered it with the RHS, Cymbidium tortisepalum was still an unclassified and unknown plant. He was instructed by the RHS to register it with parent Cymbidium goeringii instead. After that, according to the opinion of Kew and Harvard University, Cym. tortisepalum ‘Da Xue Su’ was separated from Cym. goeringii. Therefore, for actual breeding, Cym. tortisepalum is used instead of Cym. goeringii.
