Coelogyne apoensis

A Philippine epiphytic orchid first described by Hashimoto in a smaller genus and moved to Coelogyne in 2021, when that genus was greatly enlarged. The epithet points to Mount Apo in Mindanao, suggesting a montane forest plant; treat it as a cool-to-intermediate grower that needs constant humidity and good airflow.

Where it grows wild

Habitat not documented in available sources. Inferred from the name and from related Philippine montane orchids: an epiphyte on mossy branches in humid mid-mountain forest.

Probably montane (Mount Apo forest roughly 1,000 to 2,500 m); the measured point at 9 m is a lowland placeholder.
