| 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: |
710 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/07/2011 through 07/02/2014)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 5 - 110 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/07/2011 through 05/29/2012)

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: Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Sumatra in Indonesia.
Plants are found on mangrove and other trees in very muddy swamps. Plants
grow on trees at the extreme end of the creeks where the water is sweet.
They are found hanging from branches a few feet above the water where
humidity is always high. Grant (1895) reported that plants are never found
growing under any other conditions.
