Cleisostoma koeteiense

Cleisostoma koeteiense belongs to the genus Cleisostoma within the Orchidaceae family, a group of flowering plants known for their diverse and often complex floral structures. This species is endemic to Borneo, an island in Southeast Asia known for its rich biodiversity and numerous orchid species. The species was formally published in 1972 by Garay, who revised and reclassified earlier work by Schltr. The genus Cleisostoma is characterized by its epiphytic or lithophytic growth habit and typically small, delicate flowers. As with many orchids, Cleisostoma koeteiense likely plays a role in its ecosystem through pollination and as a host for specific pollinators.
