In Orchid Biology, Reviews and Perspectives, volume IX (2007), there is an appendix on "Time from pollination to fruit ripening, seed maturation, and germination" with several hundred entries. However, no species of Coelia are listed. However, both in this and in the online page indicated by Lee, Botriochilus bellus (a synonym of Coelia bella) is listed as 110 days for germination from green or unripe capsules.
