Cymbilabia undulata is a vandaceous species of epiphytic orchid native to the Bhutan, Myanmar, China, India and Nepal.

[4] This species was recently transferred from Vandopsis to the newly erected genus Cymbilabia.

It was erected as response to the discovery of the then paraphyletic nature of the genus Vandopsis, which would not have formed a monophyletic group under the inclusion of Cymbilabia undulata.

The genus name Cymbilabia is derived from the Latin word cymba meaning "cup", "bowl" or "boat" [8] and labium, which is the labellum.

The specific epithet undulata refers to the undulate margin of petals and sepals.
