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: 590 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/15/2004 through 03/22/2006)
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 0.1 - 40 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/03/2004 through 01/02/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 35 mm (01/02/2007)

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: Peru. This terrestrial or lithophytic species occurs mostly the Departments of Cajamarca and Ancash on the semi-arid western slopes of the Andes. However, one collection has been reported from the eastern slopes in the Department of Amazonas south of Chachapoyas where the plants were growing in evergreen thickets. The plants usually grow at 9200-11,800 ft. (2800-3600 m) but have been found as low as 7850 ft. (2400 m) and as high as 13,100 ft. (4000 m). Although plants normally grow in protection of scrubby vegetation, they are often found growing fully exposed to the sun.
