Flask Information
Availability: We have approximately 40 plants in intermediate-stage flasks, but this may not be enough to make flasks for new requests, because we are still making flasks for prior requests.
You should: Reserve a flask now. Even though we might not have enough plants, if someone drops out ahead of you you many get a flask. If you wait, this will be less likely because you would be further down on the list.
Yield Estimate: 438 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/22/2022 through 05/05/2023)
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 5 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/22/2022 through 10/22/2023)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 70 mm (10/22/2023)
Expected Flask Price: $40.00 per flask of 25 (min.) plants

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Java. Plants are found near the southeast coast at 650-2300 ft. (200-700 m). They usually grow on cliffs of soft, crumbling limestone, where their roots extend into moss and leafy humus near a water seepage. Comber (1990) reported, "Formerly very common in the low hills south of G. Semeru in East Java at from 450-770 m, where it grew both in the soil and on rocks on steep hillsides. Unfortunately in the years 1965-1980 it was extensively collected for sale locally and abroad until it is now very difficult to find. Luckily there are still a few flowering plants on almost inaccessible cliffs in this area."
