The Orchid Genera : Anacamptis, Orchis, Neotinea

The Orchid Genera : Anacamptis, Orchis, Neotinea 2nd Edition is very well illustrated with fine colour photographs and large scale distribution maps. Each species is thoroughly treated, with analysis of phylogeny, taxonomy, morphology, biology,and ecology. Variation and hybridisation are also addressed, and the largely European and North African distribution is discussed and shown on coloured maps. The photographs consist of both close-ups of the orchid plants and flowers, and glorious habitat shots, and there are further illustrations from older paintings and herbarium specimens. An important and up-to-date account of some of the most treasured of European wild plants.
