Coelogyne chloroptera

A rarely documented Philippine Coelogyne; the only georeferenced record is from northern Mindanao at about 840 m. That site is warm, humid and rainy all year with a mildly drier spell from February to April. Grow it as an intermediate-to-warm epiphyte that never dries out for long.

The single measured site is at about 840 m; the true range is unknown.
