Flask Information
Availability: We have approximately 60 plants in intermediate-stage flasks, but this may not be enough to make flasks for new requests, because we are still making flasks for prior requests.
You should: Reserve a flask now. Even though we might not have enough plants, if someone drops out ahead of you you many get a flask. If you wait, this will be less likely because you would be further down on the list.
Yield Estimate: 343 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/10/2021 through 10/08/2023)
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 3 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/18/2022 through 05/05/2024)
From one most recently surveyed flask 10 - 30 mm (05/05/2024)
Expected Flask Price: $43.75 per flask of 25 (min.) plants
Plants require 2 or more years in flask so there is an additional charge (included) for materials and labor.

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. Plants are known only from cloudforests at 5900-7200 ft. (1800-2200 m) on the western slopes of Mt. Pichincha in Pichincha Province. Although distribution is limited, plants are not rare in nature. Visitors to the habitat report that large numbers of plants may be found in the damp, leafy humus on the lower parts of huge, epiphyte-laden trees.
