| 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 10/13/2006 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 5 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/13/2006 through 01/02/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 70 - 100 mm (01/02/2007)

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: This widespread epiphytic and terrestrial orchid is found
from the southern tip of Florida in the U. S. southward through Mexico,
Central America, and the Caribbean Islands into South America as far south
as northern Argentina. Luer (1972) reported that in Florida this orchid
was previously found in great numbers in the open, sunlit cypress stands
of the Big Cypress Swamp, but by 1972 it was found only in the
inaccessible areas of remote swamps. In Mexico, plants have been reported
in the States of Chiapas, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco,
Michoacán, Nayarit, Puebla, Tamaulipas, and Yucatán at 2600-5900 ft.
(800-1800 m). In Mexico, plants are sometimes found growing as epiphytes,
but most often grow in pockets of soil and vegetable debris on lava flows
and limestone outcrops in full sun or light shade. In Guatemala, plants
have been found in the Departments of Izabal and Zacapa, growing as
epiphytes and terrestrials on dead and living trees, logs, stumps, and on
boulders or in soil between rocks. They grow mostly at low elevations, but
have been found at elevations as high as 4600 ft. (1400 m). In Belize,
plants are found in the Belize and Cayo Districts. They grow mostly in
sandy or stony soil below 350 ft. (100 m), but are sometimes found on
trees or stumps. Plants are seen frequently along the highway between
Belize City and Belmopan. In El Salvador, plants have been found growing
as a terrestrial on the lower slopes of Izalco Volcano at 1950-2600 ft.
(600-800 m). In Honduras, plants have been found in the mountains somewhat
west of Tegucigalpa with no habitat details reported. In Nicaragua, plants
have been collected on the northwestern side of Lake Nicaragua, mostly
near Managua at 400-1100 ft. (120-340 m). In Costa Rica, this orchid is
reported to inhabit dry, rocky areas. In Costa Rica, a collection has been
reported in Guanacaste Province at 30 ft. (10 m). In Panama, plants have
been found only on the Perlas Islands, which are off the southern coast in
the Gulf of Panama. In this habitat, plants form colonies on rocks near
sea level. In the Caribbean, this orchid occurs but is very rare in Peurto
Rico where it grows both as an epiphyte and terrestrial in moist forests
at low to middle elevations in the northern limestone regions. Plants have
also been found on Trinidad in the extreme northwestern area of
Chacachacare. In Venezuela, plants are found in the Federal District near
Caracas and in the States of Barinas, Carabobo, Mérida, and Sucre at
350-5250 ft. (100-1600 m). This species occurs in Colombia, but details of
the habitat in that region have not been reported. In Ecuador plants have
been found in Imbabura Province at 7550 ft. (2300 m). In Peru, they have
been collected in the Department of San Martín at 1000-1300 ft. (300-400
m). In Bolivia, plants have been found in the Department of Santa Cruz
near Yotaú, which is somewhat north of the city of Santa Cruz, at 1250 ft.
(380 m). Pabst & Dungs (1975-1977) report that in Brazil this orchid is
found in the hot, humid lowlands in the Territory of Amapá and the States
of Goiás and Mato Grosso. Menezes (1995), however, contends that
Cyrtopodium punctatum is found in Central America, Colombia, and
Venezuela, while the plants found in inland central Brazil are Cyrtopodium
saintlegerianum Rchb. f. Because of the extremely large range of
distribution, we have included climate tables from low elevations near the
northern, central, and southern extremes of distribution and from high
elevations in the sub-tropical and equatorial regions to give a rough idea
of the range of conditions to which these plants should adapt.
