Coelogyne crassa

A cool-growing epiphytic Coelogyne of the Bornean and Malayan mountains, recorded here from Mount Kinabalu's upper slopes. Treat it as a constantly moist, cool cloud-forest orchid: steady humidity, cool nights all year and no hard dry rest.

Where it grows wild

Montane and upper montane mossy forest, growing on mossy trunks and branches. Built from the two Sabah records and the habits of related highland Coelogyne; little species-specific habitat detail is published.

The single climate site sits about 2,450 m on Mount Kinabalu; the species probably spans lower montane elevations too.
