"The Orchids of the Philippines is the most up-to-date and comprehensive work published on the indigenous orchids of the Philippine archipelago. It will become an important reference and identification work for botanists, naturalists, and orchid growers throughout the world. In addition to the more common species, many rare and new species are depicted for the first time. More than 300 different species are described and illustrated in color photos, many by award-winning photographers David P. Banks and David Titmuss."--Jacket.
