Editing Cymbidium (section)

==Description==
Plants in the genus ''Cymbidium'' are epiphytic, lithophytic or terrestrial plants, or rarely leafless saprophytes. All are [[sympodial]] [[evergreen]] herbs. Some species have thin stems but in most species the stems are modified as pseudobulbs. When present, there are from three to twelve leaves arrange in two ranks and last for several years. The leaf bases remain after the leaf has withered, forming a sheath around the pseudobulb. The flowers are arranged on an unbranched flowering stem which arises from the base of the pseudobulb or rarely from a leaf [[axil]]. The sepals and petals are usually thin and fleshy, free from, and more or less similar to each other. The labellum (as in other orchids, a highly modified third petal) is significantly different from the other petals and sepals. It is sometimes hinged to the [[Column (botany)|column]], or otherwise fused to it. The labellum has three lobes, the side lobes erect, sometimes surrounding the column and the middle lobe often curving downwards. After [[pollination]] a [[wikt:glabrous|glabrous]] [[Capsule (botany)|capsule]] containing many light coloured seeds is produced.<ref name="Jones">{{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=A complete guide to native orchids of Australia including the island territories|date=2006|publisher=New Holland|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=1877069124|page =461}}</ref><ref name="China">{{cite web |title=''Cymbidium'' |url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=108941 |publisher=Flora of China |access-date=11 January 2019}}</ref><ref name="ATRFO">{{cite web |url=https://www.canbr.gov.au/cpbr/cd-keys/RFKOrchids/key/rfkorchids/Media/Html/genera/Cymbidium.htm |title=''Cymbidium'' |author=Jones D.L. |display-authors=etal |website=Australian Tropical Rainforest Orchids |year=2006 |publisher=Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (CANBR), [[Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation]] (CSIRO), [[Australian Government]] |access-date= }}</ref>
