Quarto, green boards (hardcover), 207 pp. Very Good, in a Very Good dust jacket. From jacket: Sixty-one exquisite color pages showing 61 of the more commonly grown orchid genera highlight this unique book on orchids.

Accompanying each description is a list of the more popular species within the genus and their flowering seasons, and a map showing where the genus is found in the wild. More than 50 additional black-and-white drawings and wash illustrations show specific vegetative and flowering characteristics of individual species. For the amateur orchid enthusiast the authors provide a comprehensive description of orchid characteristics, an explanation of orchid classification, and an outline of the Orchidaceae family of plants. An extensive, illustrated glossary desribes more than 200 terms used in orchidology...
