Mystery for me! Coelogyne. MICKOLITZII ?

[Triffid]

So I'm not overly keen on buying plants without a proper name, or buying without some inkling of what I'm getting any more. However this was going cheap cheap (sing birdies sing).

Now the Label reads “COEL. MICKOLOTZII” (all capitals). So I did a search with no results, but the closest match was Coelogyne micholotzii which results with these links - being the best from what I can work out. Yet neither has specific information on this plant.

Is this a Synonym of another plant?
Am I looking in the wrong direction?
Is it a Hybrid?
Can I treat it the same as a different Coelogyne?
Is there another answer (jokes allowed as long as they are amusing )?

Any help on this would be appreciated, as I like to document culture notes on Orchids I have where possible. I feel like I can't see the woods for the trees.
Thank you in advance and sorry about the quality of the pictures attached!

Triffid, This may not be helpful to you but is just to let you know that I have a lovely Coelogyne hybrid which is named Mem. W. Micholitz AM/RHS. My avatar shows a picture of the bloom.

Orchid Wiz lists it as a species (1895). No further info is given. I can't come up with any articles published in the last 100 years which say anything about the species. Several sources have Coel. micholitiziana which is now called Coel. beccarii. My suggestion is to flower it out and if its really important, send it off to get identified. Or you can take it to an AOS judging and the species task force will do it for you if it gets awarded.

Thank you Shirley and Paul for your replies. At least I have a couple of ideas of where to look now
Lovely blooms by the way Shirley!

I will keep treating it like any other Coelogyne and hopefully that will get it to bloom Then maybe it'll give me more clues.

Yes, that may be just a little bit too far for me to travel.

Thank you again!
