| 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: |
680 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/27/2004 through 11/29/2007)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 1 - 45 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/07/2004 through 06/10/2008)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 25 mm (06/10/2008)

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: Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam in northeastern India, Burma,
northern Thailand, Vietnam, and China. In the Himalayan region of Nepal,
Sikkim, Darjiling, and the Khasia Hills, these plants are found at
4900-6550 ft. (1500-2000 m). In Thailand, plants are found in the
northern mountains at 3950-4600 ft. (1200-1400 m). Seidenfaden (1980)
reported that near Loei in northern Thailand, these plants are very
abundant beside streams where they sometimes cover the forest floor in
dense masses. In Vietnam, collections have been reported near Dalat in the
south, at 5250-5900 ft. (1600-1800 m) near Chapa in the north, and at
2300-4900 ft. (700-1500 m) near Cao Bang in the northeast. The plants near
Cao Bang were growing as epiphytes and lithophytes in open, dry, primary
and secondary forests of broad-leaved, mixed, and coniferous trees.
