| 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: |
60 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/27/2005 through 02/23/2006)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 45 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/27/2005 through 10/13/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 30 mm (10/13/2006)

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: Burma and Thailand. In Burma, this orchid is reported
along the Attran River in Tenasserim, near Moulmein, and near Tavoy. In
Thailand, distribution is generally limited to the deciduous forests in
the mountains along the Burmese border in western and northern Thailand.
Plants are reported near Mae Hong Song, Chiengmai, and Mae Sot. Habitat
elevation was not reported with these collections, but Kamemoto and
Sagarik (1975) indicate that plants grow well in the city of Chiengmai,
and we have used this as a ball-park value for estimating the elevation of
the habitat. Plants are also reported in northeast India and from several
locations in southern Thailand. Seidenfaden (1988), however, indicates
that these reports are probably incorrect and feels that this species is
limited to a rather small area of the Tenasserim Range in Burma and
Thailand between 14 and 18N latitude.
