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: |
510 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/01/2014 through 06/04/2016)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/08/2015 through 11/20/2016)
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 80 mm (11/20/2016)

Veracruz. In Guatemala, plants have been collected near Lake Petén and in
the Tikal National Park in Petén Province of northeastern Guatemala. In
Belize, this species is fairly common and is found mostly on trees in
moist pine/oak and broad-leaved forests at 150-2300 ft. (50-700 m). In
general, plants grow on the Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean watershed in both
humid and dry conditions in forests and pasture lands at 350-3950 ft.
