Dendrochilum cobbianum
Coelogyne cobbiana, or Cobb's dendrochilum, described by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1880, is an epiphytic orchid occurring in the Philippines, growing on moss-covered trees. It can sometimes occur as a lithophyte growing on rocks at altitudes above 1200 m. Formerly, this species was a member of the genus Dendrochilum until being reclassified in 2021.
