The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: India, Burma, and possibly Java. Coelogyne fuliginosa was first discovered in northern India in 1838, but specific habitat details were not reported. Ten years later they were found by Hooker in the Sikkim Himalayas growing on rocks in valleys at 5000 ft. (1500 m). Shortly thereafter, plants were also found near the summit of the Khasi (Khasia) Hills in northeastern India. [The tallest peak in the Khasi Hills is 6440 ft. (1963 m)]. Subsequently, plants were found near Moulmein in the Tenasserim region of Burma, again without details of habitat elevation being given. As the habitat in India for both C. fuliginosa and C. ovalis are in the same areas and at approximately the same elevation, the following climate table and cultural recommendations should apply to either or both of these species, whatever the final taxonomic determination might be.
