Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orchidaceae, Vol. 5: Illustrations and Studies of the Family Orchidaceae; Issued From the Ames Botanical Laboratory, North Easton, Massachusetts; The Genera and Species of Philippine Orchids In the list that follows it has been necessary to exclude many species referred by authors to the Philippines on questionable evidence or on unreliable data. At the same time several spe cies have been included which, though inadequately known be cause of the absence of types, were originally described from material supposedly of Philippine origin. Furthermore, for pur poses of discussion, a very few species have been admitted to the list which have not yet been found in the islands, although ascribed to them by monographers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich and often bizarre variety of form exhibited by orchids has long provided a fascination for amateur and professional botanists alike. Once seen as a hobby exclusively for the rich, the cultivation of orchids is now widespread and the need for an accurate and simple guide to the identification of species in cultivation has become apparent. This book aims to fulfill that need by providing botanically correct, yet easily accessible information about this unique and exceptionally diverse group of plants. The main part of the book is based on the text of the family Orchidaceae published in the second volume of The European Garden Flora, with the information fully updated and displayed in a revised format. Simple keys to the genera and to the species allow access to descriptions of 900 individual species which also include references to published illustrations and other useful information. Numerous line drawings of diagnostic features help to make the keys and descriptions easy to understand and use. A brief introduction covers the structural features of orchids important in identification, and gives some information on cultivation and a list of general references.
