| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| Estimated Ready Date: |
|
| 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: |
364 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/30/2009 through 01/13/2010)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 50 - 130 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/16/2010 through 06/28/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 100 mm (06/28/2010)

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: Jenny (1993) reported this species as occurring in
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama at 1650-4900 ft. (500-1500 m). He
indicated that Stanhopea gibbosa is found in relatively moist to very wet
rainforests, often over standing or slow moving water.
Some writers report that distribution also includes Colombia where plants
are reportedly found in temperate rainforests in the districts of
Antioquia, Chocó, and Caldas. Atwood (1993), Dressler (1993), and Hamer
(1984), however, report that distribution extends only from Honduras to
Costa Rica and does not include Panama or Colombia.
In Nicaragua, plants were collected in Matagalpa Province near Sta. María
de Ostumos, and near Cerro Buena Vist at 4150 ft. (1260 m). In Costa Rica,
plants are native to intermediate rain- or cloudforests, growing on the
shady trunks and lower branches of trees in dense, very humid tropical
lowland and lower-mountain rainforests at 1650-4900 ft. (500-1500 m),
particularly on the Atlantic/Caribbean slopes north of the Cordillera
Central. Plants are most common in forest niches at 2300-3300 ft.
(700-1000 m) on the Sarapiqui and San Carlos Cordillera slopes. The
highest elevation occurs at the La Plama mountain saddle at Rio Para.
