| 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: |
670 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/28/2003 through 11/03/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 45 - 120 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/23/2004 through 11/08/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 45 - 90 mm (11/08/2005)

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: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and
the Bahama Islands. In Mexico, this orchid is known only from the state of
Chiapas where it grows epiphytically, lithophytically, and terrestrially
in humid but seasonally dry oak and pine-oak forests at 4250-7200 ft.
(1300-2200 m). In Guatemala, plants have been collected in the department
of Chimaltenango where they grow on trees in open or heavy woods at up to
4900 ft. (1500 m). In El Salvador, plants have been found in the mountains
at 4250-6400 ft. (1300-1950 m). In Nicaragua, plants have been found in
the department of Esteli growing as epiphytes in wet pine and oak forest
at 1400 ft. (420 m). Hamer (1982) indicated collections in the mountains
of Honduras but reported no details of specific location or elevation. In
the Bahama Islands, plants have been found on Andros where they were
growing on tree bases and the limestone substrate in thickets near sea
level. Hágsater & Soto (2003) stated that this species has been
erroneously reported from Costa Rica and South America. Although reported
as occurring in Belize, its distribution in that region was not reflected
by Mcleish, Pearce, & Adams (1995) or by Hágsater & Soto (2003).
