Coelogyne complectens

A little-documented Coelogyne known from the mountains of Sumatra, where the two wild records sit in high, cloud-wrapped forest. Treat it as a cool-growing montane epiphyte: bright filtered light, constant moisture and cool nights all year.

Where it grows wild

Montane forest on Sumatra's volcanic ranges, almost certainly epiphytic on mossy trunks and branches like its relatives; no habitat notes beyond the records were found.

The two records are placed at about 2,280 m and 3,550 m; the higher figure is probably a coordinate or altitude error, so think upper montane forest around 1,500–2,500 m.
