| 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: |
83 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/20/2001 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 12 - 25 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/20/2001 )

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Madagascar. Plants were originally found on Mt. Ibity to
the south of Antsirabe, but now they are known to be rather common through
most of the primary mountain range along the east coast. Plants grow at
5600-6550 ft. (1700-2000 m) as large colonies on huge, flat boulders in
pockets filled with several inches of rich humus and leaf litter. The
roots are often partially exposed.
Hillerman and Holst (1986) reported that in the habitat, "The plants are
partly shaded by small trees, but even so are exposed to very bright
light. The night chill at that altitude is tempered by the residual warmth
of the boulders. The environment in which it grows experiences a distinct
5-month-long dry season during the Madagascan winter (May-September), when
it receives almost full sun, early morning dew or mist, and occasionally
even light frost."
