Coilostylis ciliaris (fringed star orchid), formerly Epidendrum ciliare, is a species of orchid in the genus Coilostylis. It was transferred from Epidendrum by Withner and Harding in 2004.[1] It is the type species of the genus Coilostylis.
The diploid chromosome number of C. ciliare has been determined from several individuals as 2n = 40, 80, and 160, the haploid chromosome number as n = 20.[2]
The moth Pseudosphinx tetrio has been observed as a pollinator in Puerto Rico.[3]
