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: |
430 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/08/2004 through 10/06/2004)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 1 - 35 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/21/2003 through 07/20/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 35 mm (07/20/2005)

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: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela. In Ecuador,
plants have been collected at numerous locations in the provinces of
Carchi, Imbabura, Loja, Pichincha, and Tungurahua with colletions
especially noted in Pichincha Province between Quito and Santo Domingo.
Plants are found at 3750-7850 ft. (1150-2400 m), but most collections are
made at about 6550 ft. (2000 m). In Peru, plants grow in wet mountain
forests on trees or the forest floor, but Dodson & Bennett (1989)
reported, "Plants growing in deep leaf mold were much more robust than
epiphytic specimens." In the Peruvian habitat, plants are found in the
department of Amazonas at 7850 ft. (2400 m), in the department of Cusco at
6550 ft. (2000 m), in the department of Huánuco at 6050 ft. (1850 m), and
in the department of Junín in the Chanchamayo Valley at 4900-5250 ft.
(1500-1600 m). In Bolivia, plants grow on trees in wet, mountain
cloudforests in the departments of Cochabamba and La Paz, but no
additional information was provided. In Venezuela, plants are found in the
state of Bolívar on the south flank of Auyantepuí at about 3500 ft. (1070
m), near Caracas at 4900 ft. (1500 m), and in the state of Mérida at 4900
ft. (1500 m). In Colombia, plants are found at 5900-8200 ft. (1800-2500
m), but habitat location is not given. Plants are reported to occur in the
West Indies, but we found no records of collection in that region.
