Editorial Review Product Description The entry for each orchid provides the plant's scientific and common names, a description of the flower (including color, shape, and size), and information on the time of flowering, range, and typical habitat, all in the context of the southern mountains. A range map accompanies each description, and Bentley's own superb photographs are an additional aid to identification. Using straightforward language yet incorporating the most up-to-date scientific information and nomenclature, the book will be welcomed by amateur naturalists or professional botanists looking for species in the field and by those who simply enjoy photographs of beautiful wildflowers.

Editorial Review Product Description Each entry includes a vivid color photograph and a series of subcategories,including growth habits, petals, habitat, and distribution. The roots ofbotanical names are traced for descriptive meanings. Occasional notesallow the author's voice into the proceedings, and the prose is ofteninadvertently poetic, as in this description of the habitat of theBulbophyllum antenniferum: "It normally grows as an epiphyte, usually onthe trunks of trees, but has been observed by the author growing onrocks in dappled light." Orchid enthusiasts beware: most of theplants shown here can only be grown in greenhouses. --Emily White Customer Reviews (1)
