Coelogyne kouytcheensis

A small Coelogyne of the limestone karst hills of northern Vietnam and southern China, recorded mostly at 1,000–1,500 m. It lives with a warm, wet summer and a cool, fairly dry winter, so it wants intermediate-to-cool conditions with a distinct winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from montane forest in the karst country along the Vietnam–China border. Like related Coelogyne it most likely grows epiphytically or on mossy limestone in broken, bright forest; details specific to this species are thin.

Records span 350–1,550 m, median 1,100 m.
