Angraecoid Orchids: Species from the African Region

Description:

These so-called 'jewels of Africa' with their sparkling flowers, distinctive growth habit and floriferous nature are much prized and this account is the first to include the angraecoid orchids of both Africa and Madagascar. It brings together, in a single volume, descriptions of all 690 species and is the essential reference for all angraecoid orchid enthusiasts. The authors have all spent time in various parts of eastern and southern Africa and precise ecological information relating to habitat, altitude preferences and flowering season of individual plants will be particularly helpful to growers. The diagnostic features of each genus are illustrated and over half the species are accompanied by exquisite photographs taken in both wild habitats and in cultivation.
