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: 390 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/05/2006 through 10/18/2007)
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 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/13/2006 through 03/18/2008)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 55 mm (03/18/2008)

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: New Guinea. In Papua, plants were found near Port Praslin and Punam on New Ireland (New Mecklenburg) Island at about 1650 ft. (500 m), on Rossel Island, in the Sepik River region near Aitape (Eitape) at 50-1300 ft. (20-400 m), and along the coast of northwestern Papua New Guinea at about 50 ft. (20 m). In Irian Jaya (western New Guinea), the plants grow in swamps along the Noord River. They usually grow on forest trees or close to the ground on mangroves in lowland rainforests from sea level to 2300 ft. (0-700 m), but they have been reported as high as 3950 ft. (1200 m).
