Edit

This species is similar to Coelogyne nitida and Coelogyne occulata but differs by having the inflorescence emerge from the top of a mature growth rather than the base.
DistributionEdit
Plant is found growing in the montane forest of Nepal, Bhutan, northeastern India, Burma and Yunnan China at elevations around 2200 meters.
CultureEdit
Plants are usually grown in baskets. Plant grows in cool temperatures and in partial shade. Water regularly during the summer, about once every two days and gradually reduce in the winter. Water about once every two to three weeks and gradually increase watering as new roots begin to show. Pot in a well drain medium. Pot in a plastic or clay pot with a mix of fine fir bark, tree fern fibers, and perlite or pot in New Zealand sphagnum moss.
