Flasks of
Bulbophyllum aff. Elizabeth Ann 'Clack' × rothschildianum 'Baker's Chant'
Number:
TN8330
Name:
Bulbophyllum aff. Elizabeth Ann 'Clack' × rothschildianum 'Baker's Chant' (Acquired incorrectly named as Bulbophyllum rothschildianum 'Clack' x 'Baker's Chant')
Comments: This was originally listed as an outcross: Bulbophyllum rothschildianum 'Clack' x 'Baker's Chant'. Later, Charles Wilson determined that the capsule parent is a hybrid, likely Bulbophyllum Elizabeth Ann, which is the primary hybrid B. longissimum x B. rothschildianum. Therefore the offspring are likely only 3/4 rothschildianum. The photos presented have always reflected the parent plants.

698 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/20/2017 through 02/22/2019) 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 5 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/20/2017 through 03/11/2020)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 60 mm (03/11/2020)
