Coelogyne bandaharaensis

A rarely recorded Coelogyne named after Gunung Bandahara in northern Sumatra, also listed from Peninsular Malaysia. Almost nothing is published about its ecology; it is probably a montane epiphyte, so grow it intermediate and humid rather than hot.

Where it grows wild

Habitat is not documented. The name points to the Gunung Bandahara massif in the Leuser highlands, where Coelogyne grow as epiphytes in wet montane forest; this profile assumes that.

Unknown; the single record's climate point sits at about 180 m, which likely understates the real elevation.
