Coelogyne datensis

A Philippine Coelogyne whose name points to Mount Data in the Cordillera of northern Luzon, a cool, misty mountain region. Grow it as a cool-to-intermediate montane epiphyte rather than in the lowland heat that the climate grid suggests.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte, or sometimes a lithophyte, on mossy trees in the montane forest of the Luzon Cordillera. This is inferred from its name and from related Coelogyne, not from records.

No record gives an elevation. The Mount Data area lies at about 1,800–2,300 m.
