Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F)
Comments: Parent plant: Wonderfully contrived flower to effect pollination. counter-balanced lip and vertically oriented stigma allow the pollinator to be catapulted into stigmatic the surface.

| 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: |
30 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/21/2001 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 20 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/13/2003 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 20 mm (08/13/2003)

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: A widespread orchid with an area of distribution extending
from Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, and the Khasia Hills region in northeast India
eastward through Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Vietnam. Distribution then
extends northward into southwest China in the provinces of Yunnan,
southern Sichuan, southeastern Xizang and into Tibet. Plants have also
been collected on Taiwan. Across northern India, Nepal, Sikkim, and
Bhutan, plants may be found on mossy cliff faces in evergreen forests at
3300-6550 ft. (1000-2000 m). They most often are found at 4900-6550 ft.
(1500-2000 m), however. In China, plants reportedly grow mostly on tree
trunks in mountain forests at 3300-6550 ft (1000-2000 m). On Taiwan,
plants are found throughout the island in broad-leaved forests at
3300-4900 ft. (1000-1500 m). In Thailand, a plant was collected in the
north near Doi Pui at 5000 ft. (1530 m). In Vietnam, plants have been
found near Dalat with no additional details reported.
