Coelogyne kamborangensis

A Bornean Coelogyne named after Kamborangah on Mount Kinabalu, where it grows as an epiphyte in cool, mossy montane forest. Treat it as a cool-to-intermediate grower that wants constant moisture, bright shade and a clear night drop; little is published beyond the original description.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in upper montane forest; the name points to the Kamborangah area of the Kinabalu summit trail, around 2,200 m. Conditions are inferred from that forest type, not from species-specific field notes.

Most likely about 1,800–2,700 m on Mount Kinabalu; a few lowland records in the data probably reflect imprecise or misidentified points.
