What kind of orchid is the Tang Mei variety of Cymbidium goeringii?

[Petal type]: Plum petal.   

[History]: Selected by the Tang family of Shaoxing in the early Republic of China period, later resold by A Gao of Tangdi, Shaoxing to Wu Puchen in Hangzhou.   

[Characteristics]: The three outer petals are round and large, with obvious vein patterns, tightly edged. Divided segments with semi-hard hooded fimbriae, round tongue. The petals are slightly yellow-green, with fine small black dots on the secondary petals, which is the prominent marker of Tang Mei. The flower shoulder is flat, slightly flying shoulder, the flower scape is tall, and the bracts are pale red. The leaves are semi-drooping, thin in texture, and dull on the surface.

 The three petals are round and larger than those of Song Mei, tightly edged, with slightly fluttering tips, divided segments with semi-hard hooded fimbriae, flying shoulders, round tongue, the scape grows 7 to 8 cun, and the color is pale green. Wu Fuchen ordered Qian Agao to purchase it from the Tang family of Shaoxing. The owner of Jiufeng Pavilion saw it at a flower show and loved it, so Qian Agao again purchased four plants and one flower, at the previously agreed price, half exchanged for old varieties of orchids and cymbidiums. Some say it is the same as the new old flower "Qifeng," but previously seen Qifeng Mei has paired backs and hanging tongue, and its three petals are also relatively longer; perhaps the flowering quality differs between good and poor years, yet judging the flower on its own merits, its excellence cannot be concealed. Because it came from the Tang family, it was named Tang Mei. "A Brief History of Orchids and Cymbidiums"
