| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have approximately 180 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: |
308 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/05/2023 through 09/03/2023)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 2 - 20 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/05/2023 through 09/03/2023)
From one most recently surveyed flask 8 - 20 mm (09/03/2023)
|

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: Endemic to a single, restricted region in Oaxaca, Mexico
at 1050 ft. (320 m), on eastern slopes that form part of the watershed for
the Gulf of Mexico. Mexipedium xerophyticum grows on rocks in warm, humid
conditions with other tropical, xerophytic vegetation such as Agave and
Plumeria. Fearing over collection, the describers gave no precise habitat
location. They did, however, indicate that the habitat receives 98 in.
(2500 mm) of rainfall per year and has an average annual temperature of
77F (25C). The climate for Minatitlan, Mexico was selected as
representative of the general area, and the data agrees with the habitat
description.
