Coelogyne exasperata

A little-documented Coelogyne endemic to Borneo, known from a handful of records in Sabah and Kalimantan. Treat it like other Bornean montane Coelogyne: an epiphyte of mossy, humid forest wanting intermediate temperatures, constant moisture and bright shade.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from hill and lower montane forest; like most Bornean Coelogyne it is presumably an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches. Habitat detail is inferred from the genus.

Site elevations range from about 80 m to 1,600 m, with one implausible record near 3,400 m; most growers' material will come from the 1,000 to 1,600 m band.
