Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Cymbidium haematodes (Jun 2026). Cym. haematodes and Cym. ensifolium are very similar and difficult to separate. Based on petals broader than the sepals, location of leaf articulation, the long, narrow leaves and apparent lack of apical leaf serrations, Cym. haematodes is the best fit.
