Cymbilabia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Orchidaceae, native from the Himalayas to China (west and south Yunnan) and northern Indo-China. [2] The genus was established in 2020, [1] as a result of the discovery of the paraphyletic nature of the genus Vandopsis as then circumscribed. Vandopsis would not have formed a monophyletic group with the inclusion of Cymbilabia undulata. [3]
