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: 105 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/16/2002 through 01/07/2004)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 10 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/13/2003 through 01/07/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (01/07/2004)

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Africa from Kenya in the north to Tanzania and Uganda, spreading westward throughout tropical Africa to Liberia and southward to Angola and Natal in South Africa. This species is widely distributed in South America and the Caribbean, and has recently been reported as spreading throughout Florida. In Kenya, plants are found in leaf-mold in shady forests and rocky scrub near the sea from near sea level to about 1000 ft. (300 m). In other parts of Africa, however, la Croix & la Croix (1997) reported plants growing at elevations as high as 3950 ft. (1200 m). This terrestrial orchid is found in many locations on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico where it grows in deep humus in dense shade of mature and disturbed dry to wet forests from near sea level to 2450 ft. (750 m). Plants have recently been found on St. John in the Virgin Islands, and are reported to be fairly widespread on wooded hillsides in Jamaica.
