Coelogyne aurantiaca

A little-known Coelogyne from the forests of Java and northern Sumatra. The records suggest an intermediate grower that wants constant humidity and a modest night drop, as for other Malesian lowland-to-montane Coelogyne.

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat account was found. Inferred from the genus and range: an epiphyte in humid hill and lower montane forest, in dappled light.

Few records carry an elevation. The climate sites lie between about 300 and 1700 m, with most near 800 m in western Java.
