This is interesting. There are two groups of people. One who thinks that a dark and complete band on petals and sepals from one end to other is Cymbidium aloifolium (leaves are narrower too) and the plant in this pic is Cymbidium bicolor (leaves are broader). Others believe the other way around. The original illustration in Hortus Malabaricus of C. aloifolium has dark band. So I will agree with the identification of this plant as Cymbidium bicolor. Thanks for sharing. Best regards Pankaj
