Coelogyne demissa

A Himalayan Coelogyne known from few records in Nepal and Sikkim, growing in monsoon forest around 1,000–1,500 m. Grow it as a cool-intermediate epiphyte with a wet, warm summer and a cool, distinctly drier winter rest, as for other Himalayan Coelogyne.

Where it grows wild

Little is published on this species; by analogy with Himalayan Coelogyne it grows on mossy trunks and branches in humid broadleaf forest, under partial canopy.

Main recorded sites at about 1,030 and 1,510 m; one georeference at 4,400 m is almost certainly an error.
