In the Gengshen year of the Republic of China (1920), it was selected by the master of Chenyi Studio; another account says it was bred by Yang Zuren of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. The leaves are emerald green, with fine serrations along the leaf margins. The two outer leaves are short and semi-drooping with blunt tips, while the central leaf stands erectly at an angle with a slightly pointed tip. The three outer sepals are short and round with tightly rolled edges, narrowed at the base and flared at the corners. The petals form shallow cupped mussel-shell holds, with a pure white large round lip, slightly curled backward. The flower color is emerald green, and the flower form is upright and elegantly plain, making it an outstanding example among lotus-petal plain-hearted Cymbidium goeringii. The flower has short, round outer sepals, a pure white large round lip, and shallow mussel-shell holds with green vein patterns, giving a fresh, delicate, understated and refined impression. A lotus-petal form is already hard to come by, and this one is even a plain-hearted variety.
This unusual-colored plain-type variety has a short flower scape, only 5-6 cm tall. The flower stem is green, the bracts are pale green with coarse green veins, and the flower bud is round and compact. The three outer sepals are short and round with tightly rolled edges, narrowed at the base and flared at the corners; the two lateral sepals are level-shouldered. The petals form shallow cupped mussel-shell holds, and the lip is a pure white large round tongue, slightly curled backward. The flower color is emerald green and delicate, and the flower form is upright and elegantly plain. The new shoots are jade green. The leaves are 20-25 cm long and 0.6-1 cm wide, emerald green and glossy, with fine serrations along the leaf margins. The two outer leaves are semi-drooping with blunt tips, while the central leaf stands erectly at an angle with a slightly pointed tip.
