This item was originally offered as TN2567, Scelochilus latipetalus, but this subset of plants of that batch came from one compot that was recorded improperly. All plants from the one compot are clearly vandaceous, and one has bloomed and is Vanda coerulea. This new TN6276 was created just for this group of plants that arose from the one compot. All plants in this group are siblings. The actual original source of the seed for this subset is unclear, but may be TN2042, TN2043, or TN2044.

| 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: |
(to be determined)

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: Northeast India, Burma, Thailand, and southwest China.
Discovered first in the Khasi (Khasia) Hills of northeast India, plants
have since been found in the mountain regions of Burma and northern
Thailand. They usually grow high up in rough-barked trees that are not
exceedingly leafy so that the plants are fully exposed to the sun, rain,
and wind. The roots sprawl over the dry rough bark with no moss or lichen
present. Therefore, they are able to dry very rapidly after becoming wet.
Over most of the range they are found at 3000-5000 ft. (910-1520 m), but
in Thailand cultivated plants reportedly grow well under natural
conditions in Chiang Mai which is at 1100 ft. (340 m).
