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. |

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: Western Borneo. Plants are found in Sarawak and western
Kalimantan on north facing slopes of weathered sandstone or limestone
hills at 1000-2600 ft. (300-800 m). They grow below the summits of hills
and cliffs under an open canopy of trees. Plants grow either in deep leaf
litter at the base of trees in continuously moist and humid places or in
mosses in rock crevices where there is constant water seepage.
