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: 893 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/21/2002 through 05/16/2003)
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 15 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/14/2003 through 11/03/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 50 mm (11/03/2003)

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Peru. Schweinfurth (1959-1961) reported the occurrence of this species in Peru in the department of Huánuco between Muña and Chaclla where it was growing on trees and rocks in woods. He also indicated that distribution extended to Colombia and Venezuela, but Bennett & Christenson (1998) indicated it is a terrestrial plant and limited its distribution to Peru. They reported plants found in the department of Pasco between Paurcatambo and Yaupi Bajo at 6550 ft. (2000 m) where were growing on steep rocky slopes exposed to direct sunlight. Bennett and Christenson (1998) further indicated that the plant discussed as Epidendrum ruizianum Studel by Dodson and Vasqez (1989) as occurring in Bolivia actually represents Epidendrum odontospathum Rchb. f. or a closely related species.
