Name: Boat Orchids

Other Names: Cymbidium

Description: Cymbidium, or ,Boat Orchids is a genus of 52 evergreen species in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Cymbidium, or ,Boat Orchids were first described by Olof Swartz in 1799. The name is derived from the Greek word kumbos, meaning 'hole, cavity'. It refers to the form of the base of the lip. The genus is abbreviated Cym in horticultural trade. This genus is distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia (such as North-India, China, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Borneo) and North-Australia, usually growing in cooler climates at high elevation. Cymbidium, or ,Boat Orchids are sympodial and grow to a height of 60 cm and the racemes as high as 90 cm. The raceme grows from the base of the most recent pseudobulb. Each flower can have a diameter of 5 to 10 cm, according to the species. They bloom during the winter, and each plant can have up to fifteen or more flowers. The fantastic range of colors for this genus include white, green, yellowish-green, cream, yellow, brown, pink, and red (and there may be markings of other color shades at the same time), with the exception of blue and black. The flowers last about ten weeks. They have a waxy texture. The rounded sepals and petals have about the same dimensions. They show very diverse color patterns, different for every species. Cymbidium, or ,Boat Orchids tend to grow more leaves than most orchids. Roughly eight long, green, narrow leaves originate from the sheath of each pseudobulb.
Cymbidium, or ,Boat Orchids extracts are being studied for many medicinal benefits and encouraging results have been obtained in the management of chronic ailments like Arthritis with Cymbidium extracts.
