Yield Estimate: 295 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/25/2014 through 10/23/2015)
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 30 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/23/2014 through 10/23/2015)

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: Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In Mexico, this orchid is found in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Veracruz, and Oaxaca. It grows usually as a terrestrial, but may sometimes be found as a lithophyte and very occasionally as an epiphyte at elevations up to 5600 ft. (1700 m). Ames & Correll reported that in Guatemala plants have been found in a deep shaded ravine in leaf mold, on rocks in pine-oak forests, and occasionally in the crotch of trees at elevations up to 5600 ft. (1700 m). In Belize, plants have been found on trees and logs in moist forests at 150--1950 ft. (50--600 m) and are said to be fairly common in Cayo, Stann Creek and Toledo Districts. Plants have been reported in El Salvador at 2950 ft. (900 m). In Nicaragua, plants are said to be less common, but are found at various locations in the east, central, and western parts of the country. Plants grow mostly as terrestrials in lower rainforest with collections reported at 100--1650 ft. (30--500 m). Although reported to occur in Honduras, we have not found any details of habitat location or elevation in that country.
