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: 300 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/19/2002 )
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 30 - 45 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/14/2003 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 45 mm (01/14/2003)

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: Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, the Philippines, Java, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Australia. In Malaya, plants are found mostly in the southern lowlands on old mangrove and near rivers. In Borneo it is found in Kalimantan and Sabah in lowland forests. In the Philippines it grows on the islands Leyte, Luzon, and Bohol at about 200 ft. (60 m). In Java, plants are found only in the west in the vicinity of Mt. Salak at about 3950 ft. (1200 m). In Papua New Guinea, plants have been noted in Central Province, Gulf Province, and Madang Province. O'Byrne (1994) reported that this orchid is common in coastal forests and rainforests of Papua New Guinea at 150-1650 ft. (50-500 m) and that plants grow on the trunks and large branches of trees in bright scattered shade, often in rather exposed situations. Plants are also reported in Irian Jaya.
