Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F)
Comments: Pollination could also possibly be a sib-cross or otherwise in-the-family. Both cultivars are from a single large tree in the Sierra Madre del Sur, Oaxaca.
I'm hoping that, through this propagation, this wonderful species will begin to be available to interested growers.
This is a rare species of Rhynchostele, one that Frederico Halbinger, the "father" of the group, thinks was always rare. It took me 12 years of trying to get a capsule to take, but when it did it produced lots of seed. R. madrensis is not only beautiful, it is the only rhynchostele with a wonderful fragrance.
Pod parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

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: |
1390 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/27/2005 through 05/03/2010)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.3 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/18/2005 through 11/15/2010)
