Coelogyne acuminata

Formerly Dendrochilum acuminatum, a small montane epiphytic orchid from Sumatra that was moved into Coelogyne in 2021. Almost nothing about its ecology has been published. Treat it like other Sumatran highland Dendrochilum: cool to intermediate, constantly moist, with bright shade.

Where it grows wild

Known from only a few collections in the West Sumatra and Kerinci highlands. It probably grows as an epiphyte in montane forest, as related Dendrochilum species do.

No recorded elevations. One record sits at about 1800 m; another is placed at 3551 m on Mount Kerinci, which is probably a summit-based locality and not where the plant grew.
