| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
480 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/12/2001 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 35 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/10/2002 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 35 mm (06/10/2002)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. This orchid grows on trees in coastal mountains in
the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa
Catarina. Plants are found most often in scrub forest above 4900 ft. (1500
m) where they usually grow near the ground. Plants are occasionally found
at lower elevations, but they grow higher in the canopy. Miller and Warren
(1994) reported that in the Macaé de Cima Forest Reserve northeast of Rio
de Janeiro, this species frequently grows with Sophronitis coccinae on
mountain tops and the long, sharply defined ridges which connect the
peaks. They stated that vegetation in the habitat is mostly "dwarf,
wind-blown trees interspersed with scrub and bushes, a very fine bamboo
and a small flowered but prolific Fuchisa. The ground is very often
completely covered by a carpet of bromeliads." Miller and Warren go on to
report that, "Suprisingly, in spite of exposure to high winds and fierce
sunlight, the overall ambient is always humid due in part to the constant
mists but probably more so, due to the immense quantity of standing water
accumulated and stored in the central rosettes of the myriad bromeliad
plants."
