Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: These plants will not be available in flask - if you reserve a flask you will be added to a list of notification for first available established seedlings.

Parent plant: Small 6 to 8 inch high plant. Spikes have only one flower at the top, and are similar in height to the foliage. Pseudobulbs are about the size of my thumb nail. These are supposedly outdoor hardy as far north as Washington D.C. Simple elegance.

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: 18 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/08/2005 )
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 40 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/21/2006 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 70 mm (02/21/2006)

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: Japan on the islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. It is also found in Korea, the Bonin and Ryukyu Islands, and is widespread in China and Taiwan. It is reported to occur, but is rare, in northwest India near the western border of Nepal. It grows at elevations of 1640-9840 ft. (500-3000 m), with the higher elevations occurring in the warmer, more southerly locations. In Japan it is usually found near the sea, growing as a terrestrial in open forests on lightly shaded cliffs or slopes. In northern Japan it grows in coniferous forests, while on the southern islands it occurs in the warm, temperate vegetation zone in broadleaved, evergreen forests, often among grasses and bamboos. In Taiwan, it occurs at 3000-5000 ft. (900-1500 m) in the central mountain region, usually on dry slopes that face east or southeast.
