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: 400 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/14/2004 )
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 08/16/2004 through 11/02/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 50 mm (11/02/2004)

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: Widespread in the Pacific Islands, including Java, Ambon, Ternate Island, Sulawesi (Celebes), Borneo, the Philippines, Palau, Irian Jaya (western New Guinea), the Solomon and Santa Cruz Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, and Samoa. Plants usually grow on trees in hot jungles from near sea level to about 3950 ft. (1200 m); but in some areas, they are found as high as 5600 ft. (1700 m). They usually grow about half way up large tree trunks in primary forests in light to moderate shade.
