Epidendrum ciliare, synonyms including Coilostylis ciliaris is a species of orchid.

[citation needed] It has a wide distribution from Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean to northern and western South America.

[2] It was transferred from Epidendrum to Coilostylis by Withner and Harding in 2004,[3] but this is not accepted by Plants of the World Online.

[1] The diploid chromosome number of E. ciliare has been determined from several individuals as 2n = 40, 80, and 160, the haploid chromosome number as n = 20.

[4] The moth Pseudosphinx tetrio has been observed as a pollinator in Puerto Rico.
