Coelogyne edii

A little-known epiphytic Coelogyne from the hill and lower montane forests of Sarawak, Borneo, recorded at about 800–1,100 m. Treat it as an intermediate-temperature orchid that needs constant humidity, frequent watering and moderate shade, with no dry rest.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic in humid hill and lower montane rainforest; this is inferred from the record sites and the genus, as habitat notes for the species are sparse.

Recorded sites lie at roughly 830–1,100 m.
