Perhaps one of the most beautiful of the Coelogyne with white flowers and a chocolate-red lip. Fragrant. From the Philippines. Described recently in 2001. Up to 20-inch flower spikes with 10 to 20 flowers. This blooms off and on throughout the year. The flower spikes arch and hang downwards and produce a number of flowers over several weeks one at a time. It is not unusual for the older leaves to be dying back as the newest growths flower.
