| 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: |
263 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/17/2004 through 03/23/2005)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.75 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/17/2004 through 07/08/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (07/08/2005)

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: South Africa. This species is known only from the
Soutspansberg Mountains in Northern Province. Van Ede (1990) reported two
races of this species, with one race characterized by smaller plants found
in the western parts of the soutpansberg while the larger plants of the
other race inhabit the more eastern parts of the region. Plants typically
are found on fig trees growing on south-facing slopes where morning mists
are common, but they also occur on thorn trees together with Mystacidium
venosum. Habitat elevation for Mystacidium braybonae was not reported, but
Mystacidium venosum is found at elevations from near sea level up to about
4900 ft. (1500 m). Growers report that both species grows well at
intermediate temperatures, so we have estimated habitat elevation
accordingly, but growers should use the resulting climate table and
cultural suggestions somewhat cautiously until actual habitat elevations
are available.
