Coelogyne confusa

A little-documented Philippine Coelogyne known almost only from its original description. Grow it like other Philippine Coelogyne of humid forest: mounted or in a fast-draining basket, bright filtered light, warm-intermediate temperatures and constant humidity with no hard dry rest.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte of humid forest, by analogy with most Philippine Coelogyne; no habitat details have been published beyond the type collection.

No elevation records; the climate site is a lowland placeholder at 9 m, while many Philippine Coelogyne grow at 500–1500 m.
