Coelogyne beccarii

A warm-growing epiphytic Coelogyne from New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands, recorded at about 600–1100 m. It wants steady warmth, high humidity and water all year, with none of the cool or dry rest that the Himalayan Coelogyne need.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte on trunks and branches in humid lowland to lower montane rainforest, as is typical for the Malesian warm-growing Coelogyne. Specific microhabitat notes were not found.

Only three records carry an elevation (600–1100 m, median 750 m); the measured sites cluster between 520 and 830 m.
