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.
See if we have plants available in the greenhouse.
Yield Estimate: 620 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/16/2004 through 10/06/2006)
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 5 - 35 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/22/2004 through 05/04/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 35 mm (05/04/2007)

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: 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.
