Coelogyne usitana

The genus Coelogyne is widespread in Asia, adapting to many climes and is a prominent genus on Borneo. They typically have a creeping rhizome, with pseudobulbs that carry beautiful plicate leaves. Their charming inflorescences often carry many flowers but Coelogyne usitana along with other species in this group are exceptions for this flowering habit because the raceme will continue to flower indefinitely, much like Phalaenopsis bellina. Coelogyne usitana was only described in 2001 and is endemic to Mindanao in the Philippines. It's an easy grower, and the flowers from the plant shown here has a honey-like scent.
