Name: Coelogyne fimbriata Lindl.

Etymology: Coelogyne is derived from the Greek for "hollow" and "female," referring to the recessed stigma; fimbriata means "fringed" and describes the margin of the lip.

First description: In 1825 by John Lindley.

Origin/Distribution: Large parts of South and Southeast Asia.

Location/Habitat: Epiphytic or lithophytic orchid of humid forests. Cultivate in bright to semi-shaded conditions, with good airflow and temperatures around 15–27 °C. Keep evenly moist during the growth phase; keep slightly drier in winter after the pseudobulbs have matured.

Description and notes: Coelogyne fimbriata forms ovoid pseudobulbs with two leaves each and short inflorescences from mature shoots. The yellowish-green to cream-colored flowers have a brown-marked, finely fringed lip. A shallow pot or bowl is well-suited for its creeping growth habit.
