Cymbidium madidum, commonly known as the giant boat-lip orchid,[2] is a plant in the orchid family and is endemic to north-eastern Australia. It is a clump-forming epiphyte or lithophyte with crowded pseudobulbs, each with between four and eight flat, strap-shaped, thin leaves and up to seventy olive green flowers with the sepals and petals curving forwards. It is found in moist habitats in eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales.
Cymbidium madidum is an epiphytic or lithophytic, clump-forming herb with crowded, oval, slightly flattened, green pseudobulbs 120–250 mm (4.7–9.8 in) and 40–60 mm (1.6–2.4 in) wide. Each pseudobulb has between four and eight thin, strap-like, flexible leaves 300–900 mm (12–35 in) and 30–40 mm (1–2 in) wide. Between ten and seventy olive green to brownish green flowers, 22–35 mm (0.87–1.4 in) long and 20–30 mm (0.79–1.2 in) wide are borne on an arching flowering stem 200–600 mm (7.9–24 in) long. The sepals and petals curve forward rather than spread widely, the sepals 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in) long and 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) wide, the petals 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in) long and 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) wide. The labellum is 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in) long and 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) wide with three lobes. The side lobes are erect and the middle lobe is yellowish and has a shiny ridge along its midline. Flowering occurs between August and February.[2][3][4]
Cymbidium madidum was first formally described in 1840 by John Lindley who published the description in Edwards's Botanical Register.[5][6] The specific epithet (madidum) is a Latin word meaning "moist", "soaked" or "sodden".[7]
The giant boat-lip orchid grows in rainforest and other moist habitats on trees with fibrous or papery bark and on rocks and cliffs. It is found from the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland south to the Hastings River in New South Wales.[2][4]
Australian aborigines and early European settlers used pseudobulbs of Cymbidium madidum for dysentery and its seeds were used as an oral contraceptive.[8]

Cymbidium madidum, es una especie de orquídea epífita que actúa como litófita originaria de Australia.
Es una especie de orquídea de tamaño grande, que prefiere clima cálido a fresco , es epífita que actúa como litófita con pseudobulbo cónico ovoide con 10 hojas lineares, agudas, coriáceas, curvadas. Florece a través de una inflorescencia basal, arqueada con pocas a muchas flores, de 30 a 60 cm de largo, tiene las flores ligeramente fragantes y carnosas. La floración se produce en el verano y a fines de invierno.[1]
Es natural de Queensland a Nueva Gales del Sur. Esta especie que rara vez crece en la corteza de los árboles, se encuentra en los huecos de las ramas y pervive donde hay un montón de detritus que la selva ha acumulado, le gusta la sombra o en condiciones cercanas a las selvas tropicales hasta los 1200 metros de altitud.[1]
Cymbidium madidum fue descrita por John Lindley y publicado en Edwards's Botanical Register 26: Misc. 9. 1840.[2]
El nombre deriva de la palabra griega kumbos, que significa "agujero, cavidad". Este se refiere a la forma de la base del labio. Según otros estudiosos derivaría del griego "Kimbe = barco" por la forma de barco que asume el labelo.

Cymbidium madidum, es una especie de orquídea epífita que actúa como litófita originaria de Australia.
Cymbidium madidum est une espèce d'Orchidées du genre Cymbidium.
Cymbidium madidum est une plante herbacée épiphyte ou lithophyte formant des touffes avec des pseudobulbes verts surpeuplés, ovales, légèrement aplatis et 40 à 60 mm de large. Chaque pseudobulbe a entre quatre et huit fines feuilles flexibles en forme de courroie de 300 à 500 mm de long et 30-40 mm de large. Entre dix et soixante-dix fleurs vert olive à vert brunâtre, 22-35 mm de long et 20-30 mm de larges sont portés sur une tige florale arquée de 200-600 mm de long. Les sépales et les pétales courbent vers l’avant plutôt que de s’étendre largement, large avec trois lobes. Les lobes latéraux sont dressés et le lobe médian est jaunâtre et présente une crête brillante le long de sa ligne médiane. La floraison a lieu entre août et février[1],[2],[3].
Cymbidium madidum a été officiellement décrit pour la première fois en 1840 par John Lindley, qui l'a publiée dans The Botanical Register[4],[5]. L'épithète spécifique (madidum) est un mot latin qui signifie « humide », « trempé » ou « détrempé »[6].
Cymbidium madidum se développe dans la forêt tropicale humide et d'autres habitats humides sur des arbres à écorce fibreuse ou papyracée, ainsi que sur des rochers et des falaises. On la trouve depuis la Péninsule du cap York, dans le Queensland, jusqu'au sud jusqu'à la rivière Hastings, en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud[1],[3].
Les Aborigènes d'Australie et les premiers colons européens utilisaient le pseudobulbe de Cymbidium madidum pour la dysenterie et ses graines étaient utilisées comme contraceptif oral[7]

Cymbidium madidum Lindl., 1840 è una pianta della famiglia delle Orchidacee endemica dell'Australia.[1]
È un'orchidea di grandi, spesso gigantesche dimensioni, con crescita epifita sulla corteccia degli alberi ed occasionalmente terricola (geofita). C. madidum presenta pseudobulbi di forma da ovoidale a conica, che portano fino a 10 foglie coriacee, di forma lineare, ad apice acuto. La fioritura avviene dalla fine dell'inverno a tutta l'estate, mediante un'infiorescenza basale, racemosa, lunga fino a da 30 a 60 centimetri arcuata e spesso ricadente, portante da pochi a molti fiori. Questi sono di piccole dimensioni, da 2 a 3 centimetri, leggermente profumati, di colore variabile dal verde al giallo e presentano sepali ovato ellittici più grandi dei petali e labello trilobato a lobi rialzati.[2]
C. madidum cresce in Australia orientale, e più precisamente nel Queensland e nel Nuovo Galles del Sud.[1]
Il suo habitat sono le foreste pluviali, ad altitudini comprese tra il livello del mare e 1300 metri di quota.[2]

Questa specie è meglio coltivata in vasi contenenti terriccio fertile, a mezz'ombra , con temperature calde e buona umidità durante la fioritura, finita la quale conviene rinfrescare la temperatura e sospendere le irrigazioni.[2]
