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: 305 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/16/2002 through 07/09/2003)
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 25 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/24/2003 through 07/09/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 40 mm (07/09/2003)

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: Brazil. This species is found primarily in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, but the habitat extends for a short distance into southern Minas Gerais. Plants usually grow in drier inland areas far from the coast. They are generally found on forest trees along small rivers in shaded, humid habitats. In Minas Gerais, however, where plants are less common, they grow in very bright conditions on small trees on rocky hills or sometimes even on the rocks themselves. Near Piracicaba, plants grow at 1650–1950 ft. (500–600 m).
