Chen, 1980, was published in Acta Phytotaxonomica Sinica 18(3): 299. 1980. Basionym is Cymbidium szechuanicum Y.S. Wu & S.C. Chen, published in Acta Phytotaxonomica Sinica 11(1): 33. 1966.

        Cymbidium faberi var. szechuanicum can be found in the lowest parts of Huanglong in open shrub on slopes from 1750 m and lower. In the mountains of northern and western Sichuan this species is still frequent but increasingly collected by the local populations since the more sought-after Cym. goeringii var. longibracteata (Y.S. Wu & S.C. Chen) Y.S. Wu & S.C. Chen, 1980, and Cym. ensifolium (Linnaeus) Swartz, 1799, have already become rare due to over- collection. The latter two species are not known from Huanglong. Cym. faberi var. szechuanicum has narrow stiff leaves of a length between 40-80 cm and 8-20 flowers with a diameter of 6 cm. Fragrance has not been detected with plants in Huanglong.

        Flowering: late April-early May.

        黄龙在海拔比较低的地方通常可以看到送春，一般生长在海拔1750 米以下的开阔山坡灌从中。送春在四川北部以及西部山脉很常见，但继广受人们喜 爱 的 春 剑 Cym. goeringii var. longibracteata 和 建 兰 Cym. ensifolium (LINNAEUS) SWARTZ由于过度采集而变得非常稀少之后，送春就成了当地人采集的对象，并且这种情况愈演愈烈。春剑和建兰在黄龙没有分布。送春的叶片狭窄，硬并且革质，叶片长40-80厘米；每个花序上着生8-20朵花，花直径一般为6厘米；黄龙的送春花没有香味。

        花期：4月底到5月初。
