| 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: |
205 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/25/2002 through 11/23/2004)
|

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: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and
Nicaragua. In Mexico, plants are found on slopes facing the Gulf of Mexico
in the states of Puebla, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Tabasco, and Chiapas. They grow
as epiphytes in dense shade in a variety of habitats from the lowlands to
middle elevations and are found in mangrove swamps, tropical rainforest,
mountain rainforest, tropical semideciduous forest, and oak forest from
near sea level up to 4600 ft. (1400 m). In Guatemala, plants have been
found at many locations around the country on trees in damp woods at low
elevations, in higher elevation cloudforest, or as terrestrials in pine
forests at elevations as high as 8200 ft. (2500 m). Collections have been
reported from the departments of Alta Verapaz, Amatitlán, Chimaltenango,
Guatemala, Huehuetenango, Izabal, Jalapa, Quezaltenango, San Marcos,
Suchitepequez, Zacapa, and Vera Paz. In Belize, plants reportedly are
fairly common in the Cayo and Toledo Districts where they grow on trees in
wet forests. Plants have been found in the mountains of central Honduras
as well as near the Caribbean Coast. In Nicaragua, plants have been found
in the north-central mountains in the departments of Madriz, Matagalpa,
and Jinotega at 3300-4600 ft. (1000-1400 m).
