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: 210 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/21/2005 )
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 80 - 120 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/28/2005 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 80 - 120 mm (12/28/2005)

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: Venezuela. Plants were found at about 3300-3950 ft. (1000-1200 m) along the Rîo Calderas near Calderas in the state of Barinas. Plants frequently grow in dense, secondary forest in areas with relatively low humidity. They are always found colonized by ants of either the genus Crematogaster, which is spread world-wide and harmless, or the genus Azteca, which is found only in the neotropics and is stingless but biting and aggressive.
