Coelogyne abbreviata

A small epiphytic orchid endemic to Java, until 2021 known as Dendrochilum abbreviatum, with chains of tiny flowers. Its records cluster around the volcanic mountains of West and Central Java, so treat it as an intermediate-to-cool montane epiphyte with steady humidity rather than a lowland plant.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte in montane rainforest on the Javan volcanoes; generalised from the record localities and from Dendrochilum ecology, as no species account was reached.

Few records carry an elevation; the localities on Gede-Pangrango, the Garut highlands and Merapi suggest roughly 1,000–2,000 m.
