Coelogyne banksii

Coelogyne banksii is a Philippine orchid first described by Cootes in Dendrochilum, and moved to Coelogyne in 2021 when Dendrochilum was merged into it. It has no georeferenced wild records; Philippine Dendrochilum-type species are mostly epiphytes of humid hill and montane forest, so intermediate, humid, shaded conditions are the safest approach.

Unknown; the climate point is a coastal lowland centroid, and many related species grow at 500–2000 m.
