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: 310 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/25/2005 through 01/12/2006)
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 1 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/29/2004 through 08/08/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 50 mm (08/08/2006)

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: Brazil and Peru. In Brazil, plants are found in the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Minas Gerais. They have been reported from the Organ Mountains as well as near Caldas and in Bananal Province in the state of Minas Gerais. Although the elevations of these Brazilian habitats have not reported, plants were reported to grow on mossy rocks or trees in the dark, damp recesses of forests. Schweinfurth (ref. ) reported that this species also occurs in Peru where plants were found near Tarma in the Department of Junín. They were growing on a small tree at 6550 ft. (2000 m) on a grassy mountain slope.
