Coelogyne chen-tsii

A Coelogyne from the montane forests of Yunnan, with climate sites at about 1,470 and 2,170 m. Little is published on it; like other Chinese Coelogyne it is best grown intermediate to cool, wet in summer and given a cool, drier winter rest that triggers flowering.

Probably epiphytic or on mossy rocks in montane broadleaf forest, as is typical for the genus in Yunnan; there are no specific habitat notes.

Few records carry an elevation; the two climate sites are at 1,472 and 2,170 m.
