Cymbidium changningense

This species was identified in 2005 under this name. There are some thoughts it could be a primary hybrid between lowianum and mastersii. However the flowers are larger than a straight lowianum and not smaller as you would expect from such a cross. Although similar to lowianum there are a number of differences which distinguish it from lowianum.
