Comments: Probably a new species, this has been tentatively named by Dr. Bergold. It is similar to C. albertina but the hypochile is different, it has a much shorter flower stalk, only 4-6 flowers, and its natural location is about 500 km east and has never been found previously.

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: 1 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/18/2002 )
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 130 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/18/2002 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 130 mm (07/18/2002)

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: Venezuela to northern Brazil. In Venezuela, plants have been collected in the state of Miranda in the north, in the Federal Territory of Amazonas in the southwest, and in the Gran Sabana region in the state of Bolívar in the southeast. Regrettably, details of precise habitat location and elevation were not given, so the following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on an estimated elevation and should be used with a great deal of caution until such time as the actual elevation is known.
