Rhynchostylis cymifera is a species of orchid endemic to India.[1][2] The specific epithet "cymifera", meaning "cyme bearing", refers to the pendent, basipetal, cymose inflorescences, which are very atypical for the genus and separates this species from others. Its morphology is very similar to Rhynchostylis retusa. Flowering occurs from May to June.
