They can be found from tropical lowland forests to montane rainforests. A few species grow as terrestrials or even as lithophytes in open, humid habitats. The genera ''Bolborchis'' John Lindley, Lindl., ''Hologyne'' Ernst Hugo Heinrich Pfitzer, Pfitzer and ''Ptychogyne'' Ernst Hugo Heinrich Pfitzer, Pfitzer are generally included here. The genus is abbreviated ''Coel.'' in trade journals. Name The name ''Coelogyne'' was first published as ''Caelogyne'' in 1821 by John Lindley.Lindley, J. 1821. Collectanea Botanica, ad pl. 33 and pl. 37 and is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''wikt:κοῖλος#Ancient Greek, κοῖλος'' (''koîlos'', hollow) and ''wikt:γυνή#Ancient Greek, γῠνή'' (''gunḗ'', woman), referring to the concave carpel, stigma.

Coelogyne Cristata
''Coelogyne cristata'' is an epiphytic orchid that comes from cool, moist areas of the eastern Himalayas and Vietnam. It blooms every spring, before the snow begins to melt. Its genus name ''Coelogyne'' originates from two Greek language, Greek words, (“hollow”) and (“woman”), because of the orchid’s pistil. ''Cristata'' takes its species name from , the Latin word for “comb”, because of the look of the flower’s lip.

Rhizome
In botany and dendrology, a rhizome (; , ) is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots to grow upwards. A rhizome is the main stem of the plant that runs underground horizontally. A stolon is similar to a rhizome, but a stolon sprouts from an existing stem, has long internodes, and generates new shoots at the end, such as in the strawberry plant. In general, rhizomes have short internodes, send out roots from the bottom of the nodes, and generate new upward-growing shoots from the top of the nodes. A stem tuber is a thickened part of a rhizome or stolon that has been enlarged for use as a storage organ. In general, a tuber is high in starch, e.g. the potato, which is a modified stolon. The term "tuber" is often used imprecisely and is sometimes applied to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

IPNI
The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) describes itself as "a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of seed plants, ferns and lycophytes." Coverage of plant names is best at the rank of species and genus. It includes basic bibliographical details associated with the names. Its goals include eliminating the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names. The IPNI also maintains a list of standardized author abbreviations. These were initially based on Brummitt & Powell (1992), but new names and abbreviations are continually added. Description IPNI is the product of a collaboration between The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Index Kewensis), The Harvard University Herbaria (Gray Herbarium Index), and the Australian National Herbarium ( APNI). The IPNI database is a collection of the names registered by the three cooperating institutions and they work towards standardizing the information. The stan ...
