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: 1260 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/02/2007 through 09/01/2010)
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 20 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/28/2008 through 01/04/2011)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (01/04/2011)

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: Peru, Surinam, Ecuador, and Bolivia. This species was originally discovered along the Tapanahoni River in Surinam but was never again found in that locality. Later collections in Surinam were made near the Curantyne River at King Frederick Williams Fall. In Bolivia, plants were found at 1500 ft. (450 m) on old citrus trees in wet forest regions near San Rafael in Chapare Province, which is in the northeastern section of the Department of Cochabamba. In Peru, plants have been found near Tingo Maria in the Department of Huanuco as well as in the Departments of San Martin and Pasco. They generally grow on trees in wet mountain forests at 1950-3950 ft. (600-1200 m). Habitat information for plants found in Ecuador is not available. Bennett and Christenson (1993) state that between 1961-1989 collections made in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia were mistakenly identified as Psychopsis sanderae Rolfe.
