Field Guide to the Orchids of Europe and the Mediterranean
Field Guide to the Orchids of Europe and the Mediterranean is a comprehensive photographic guide to the orchids of the region written by leading experts, who between them have decades of orchid field and research experience.The book covers 30 genera and their species including Ophrys, Cypripedium, Orchis, Dactylorhiza, Epipactis and Serapias, as well as 70 natural hybrids. Much of the confusion over identification is dueto the morphological variation a species can have within a habitat and across its distribution, andtherefore to simplify identification, several images accompany each species to illustrate this diversity, along with notes on distinguishing features and distribution maps. Each species is also accompanied by common names and important synonyms, as well as notes on habitat, flowering times anddistinguishing features.
Renziana Vol. 4
Joining previous issues of Renziana covering Paphiopedilum, Phalaenopsis, and Vanda, the current issue focuses on everything Cattleya – morphology, classification as the result of DNA sequence data, distribution, biogeography, ecology, conservation, pollination, breeding, and cultivation. The primary author for this issue is the widely acknowledged expert on Laeliinae and especially Cattleya, Cássio van den Berg. He recounts the taxonomic history of the genus and explains the rationale for lumping Sophronitis and Brazilian Laelia species into Cattleya as series of C. subgenus Cattleya section Crispae. He reminds us that Robert L. Dressler argued for the same reclassification 25 years ago ...
Renziana Vol. 2
The second issue of Renziana is devoted to the orchid genus Phalaenopsis. Over the last decades, Phalaenopsis have become the most popular commercial orchids and house plants decorating thousands of window sills. Renziana readers will find professional advice for cultivation at home and commercial nurseries give insights of their artificial propagation methods. Like the first issue, Renziana illustrates the magnificent flowers of all wild species with colour images, supplemented by habitat photographs and information on the geographical distribution of the genus. In addition, an overview of the numerous natural and artificial hybrids is given. Finally, the importance of species protection in natural habitats, that are more and more reduced also for Phalaenopsis, is emphasized.
Renziana Vol. 1
The first issue was devoted to the genus Paphiopedilum (slipper orchids). The introductory articles cover the systematic position and distribution of each of the species, illustrated with colour photographs of the flower of each species to scale, and supplemented by habitat photographs and information on geographical distribution. This issue covers further aspects of this orchid genus, particularly relating to its cultivation and conservation.
The Book of Orchids
One of every seven flowering plants on earth is an orchid. Some are stunningly over the top; others almost inconspicuous. The Orchidaceae is the second most widely geographically distributed family, after the grasses, yet remains one of the least understood. This book will profile 600 species, representing the remarkable and unexpected diversity and complexity in the taxonomy and phylogeny of these beguiling plants, and the extraordinary means they have evolved in order to ensure the attraction of pollinators. Each species entry includes life-size photographs to capture botanical detail, as well as information on distribution, peak flowering period, and unique attributes--both natural and cultural. The result is a work which will attract and allure, much as the orchids themselves do.
