Barnadesia ciliata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Ecuador.[2] It has only been collected once, near Zaruma in El Oro Province in 1947. It is a shrub that grows in coastal foothill forest habitat. The area from which it was collected is undergoing habitat destruction.[1]
It was first described as Barnadesia lehmannii var. ciliata by In Cho Chung in 1965. In 1991 Gunnar Wilhelm Harling named it a full species as Barnardesia ciliata.[2]
