Hmmm. I wonder which is right? I got this from my friend Barbara (when she
passed away). Barbara was Chinese and spoke Mandarin (and another dialect)
but that doesn't mean the name was right or it made any sense to her. It
could have been corrupted when she got it. We'd have to ask around. Maybe
I'll put a link on the OGD and see if anyone from Asia has an answer. All I
know is these Chinese Cyms are known by their clonal names which - from what
I gather - are descriptions or poetic phrases. The names could translate to
Heavenly Valley or some such. Kinda sorta like the Brazilians and their
varietal names for L purpurata, but with more romance, *G*.
