About the name...
Etymology of Gongora   Named for Don Antonio Caballero y Góngora, viceroy of New Granada (Colombia) during the 18th century. (Source: Pridgeon 1992)
Etymology of superflua   Means superfluous. It is not known if Reichenbach intended this to mean that this was just a single specimen of a further species of this complex genus. (Source: Jenny 1993)

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: 218 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/23/2011 through 07/28/2011)
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 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/06/2011 through 01/03/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 100 mm (01/03/2012)

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: Ecuador. The type specimen was found on the eastern slopes of the Andes near Loja in southern Ecuador. Although formally described in 1874, Jenny (1993) stated that no further finds have been recorded, and it is unlikely that it is in cultivation at this time.
