The Orchids of Australia

More about the book

The Orchids of Victoria is designed for the amateur and professional alike. Every species - including several that have not been illustrated before - is shown here in full colour. The detailed description of each is designed to make identification simple, and is accompanied by a distribution map and information about the flowering time, habitat and conservation status of the species. Gary Backhouse and Jeffrey Jeanes have also included the most up-to-date information on the biology and ecology of orchids. With its easy-to-follow aids to identification and its authoritative text, The Orchids of Victoria will be an invaluable companion for orchid-lovers in the home or field
