Chiloschista, abbreviated Chsch in the horticultural trade, is a genus of orchid, comprising more than 20 species native to Southeast Asia. Unlike the majority of orchids, they tend to be leafless or with only a few occasional leaves, being composed principally of aerial roots equipped with photosynthetic cells.
