I'm not an Orchid Wiz user and I can only find reference to two botanical varieties. Could these extra names reflect Chinese naming conventions for Cymbidiums. ie they're what would otherwise be termed cultivar groups (not an applicable term in western orchid nomenclature) in the same way that the Japanese use cultivar groups to define leaf and growth patterns in Neofinetia. Why Orchid Wiz would see fit to list names that are beyond the standard orchid naming conventions is beyond me but it's just a thought.
