Coelogyne chrysotropis

A Sumatran Coelogyne described by Schlechter in 1911 and rarely recorded since. Its exact habitat and elevation are not documented in what we could check. Most Sumatran Coelogyne are epiphytes of humid hill and montane forest, so an intermediate, humid, bright-shaded regime is the safest start.
