It might well be "one of the ilk" - in my limited experience, most
plants sold as C. tangutica fit the description of C. orientalis
better. Not that it matters all that much ....

There is an easy way to tell, have a sniff tangutica and its close
hybrids smell of coconut, orientalis/tibetiana types have a more citrus
smell. only snag appears to be roughly 50% of people can not smell
either!
