Coelogyne gongshanensis

A little-known Coelogyne from the Gongshan area of north-west Yunnan and adjacent Myanmar, in the upper Salween (Nujiang) valley. Its sites have warm, wet monsoon summers and a cool, dry, sunny winter with nights near freezing, so it belongs with the cool-growing Himalayan Coelogyne.

Where it grows wild

Known from very few records; like related Himalayan Coelogyne it most likely grows as an epiphyte or on mossy rocks in montane broadleaf forest. Habitat details are generalised from the genus.

Climate sites at roughly 1,650–2,750 m; the GBIF records carry no elevations.
