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: |
80 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/22/2022 )
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 20 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/07/2022 through 04/07/2023)

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: Brazil. Plants were originally found at Botafogo in what
is now the city of Rio de Janeiro. Plants of this coastal race have
somewhat pale or faded flowers. Fowlie (1987), indicates that this is
variety cernua which is now known to grow along the seacoast from the
state of Bahia southward to the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Plants with more brightly colored flowers grow far inland in the states of
Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo. Sophronitis cernua var. mineira hort. is
treated separately in this work because the habitats are so very
different. Some authorities consider these inland plants to be a variety
and other taxonomists prefer to treat them as a subspecies.
