A inventory of famous Cymbidium goeringii varieties: 169 cultivars are already extinct

The cultivation of Cymbidium goeringii varieties can be traced back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, more than 360 years ago. According to ancient orchid manuals, the historical Cymbidium goeringiipetal-type flowers total about 418 varieties. This article includes 162 extinct varieties. The varieties recorded refer to "Lan Hui Tong Xin Lu," "Lan Hui Zhen Zhuan," "Lan Yan Shu Lue," "Lan Hui Xiao Shi," "Wu Xing Lan Hui Pu," "Yi Lan Si Shuo," "Xu Lan Hui Tong Xin Lu," "Nai An Ju Yi Lan Bi Tan," Wang Shuping's "Mi Ben Lan Hui Tu Pu," "Zhu Zhitong Xiansheng Lan Pu," Shen father and son's "Lan Hua," "Lan Hua Pu," "Zhongguo Yang Lan Ji Cheng," etc. The time cutoff is 1949; varieties that appeared after 1950 are not included.
