Coelogyne elmeri

A poorly known Philippine Coelogyne whose only located record is on the Mt Apo massif in Mindanao, placed at high elevation. Treat it as a cool-growing cloud-forest epiphyte: constant moisture, cool nights, bright filtered light and no dry rest.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were found. The record's location and the genus suggest an epiphyte in mossy montane or upper-montane cloud forest.

Its single georeferenced site is placed near 2865 m on Mt Apo. That is uncertain and may sit above the real collection elevation.
