| 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: |
650 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/04/2008 through 09/30/2009)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 65 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/12/2008 through 03/02/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 55 mm (03/02/2010)

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, northeast India, Bhutan, and Myanmar (Burma).
Seidenfaden (1992) reported that distribution extends into Tibet and
Yunnan Province in southwest China. This orchid is the type specimen of a
small (2-3 species) genus that is close to Eria, differing from Eria only
in having the sepals connate, thus forming a tube with only the tips free.
Plants generally are found at 4250-5600 ft. (1300-1700 m), but Pearce &
Cribb (2002) reported collections in Sikkim from a moss-covered tree in a
broad-leaved forest at 6350-7650 ft. (1940-2330 m).
