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: 263 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/02/2016 through 01/14/2019)
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 2 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/02/2016 through 01/14/2019)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 30 mm (01/14/2019)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

ORIGIN/HABITAT: New Guinea. This orchid was discovered in Dutch New Guinea (now Irian Jaya) in 1914 on the north coast near Mamberamo. Habitat elevation was not reported, but this is a low-lying coastal plain, so the habitat was probably not very high. More recently, plants have been found in Papua New Guinea where they are rather common is a small area in the Central Province and grow on the lower trunks of large trees in semideciduous forest and drier rainforest margins from about 500 (160 m) up to 1650 ft. (500 m). Siegerist (2001) reported that this orchid is also found in Borneo, but we have been unable to find any reference to the habitat location or elevation in that region.
