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: |
1070 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/14/2000 through 03/28/2002)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 10 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/10/2002 through 07/15/2002)

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: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Panama, the West
Indies, and Venezuela. Although found over a large area, these plants are
not common, and most authorities consider them rare. In Venezuela,
Dunsterville (1959) reported that plants are found in the northern coastal
mountains at about 1950 ft. (600 m), but that the species is slightly more
common further south in the State of Bolívar and the Amazonas Territory.
Plants grow at about 650 ft. (200 m) on the upper section of the Caura
River in the extreme western section of Bolívar State. They have been seen
on the slopes of Cerro Sarisariñama at about 1650 ft. (500 m), on Cerro
Venamo near the Guayana border at 2600 ft. (800 m) and on the flanks of
Auyántepui at slightly more than 3300 ft. (1000 m). In most areas, plants
grow in well protected locations inside forests.
