Coelogyne rochussenii

A lowland Malesian epiphyte with long, hanging chains of fragrant flowers. It wants warm, humid, bright-shaded conditions with water all year, much like a warm-growing Dendrobium.

Where it grows wild

It grows in lowland and hill rainforest across Malesia, as an epiphyte on trunks and branches, often near rivers. The habitat is generalised from the record sites and the genus.

The climate sites lie between near sea level and about 420 m. Few records carry an elevation.
