Where it grows wild

The two wild records sit in upper montane and mossy forest of the northern Bornean highlands; like related montane Coelogyne it is presumably an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches. Specific microhabitat notes for this species were not found.

Record sites at about 1,600 and 2,400 m.
