| Summary |
"Victoria has a wonderful, varied orchid flora of over 360 species, making it one of the richest areas in the world for terrestrial orchids. In Victoria. orchids can be found from the coast to the highest mountains, from deserts to swamps. Their flowers occur in a fascinating array of forms and colours, ranging from the tiny onion-orchids with flowers just a few millimetres across, to the flamboyant spider-orchids with flowers measuring almost 20 cm. This guide presents all of Victoria's wild orchids, in over 1400 beautiful detailed photographs. A descriptive text is provided for each species that, when used with the photographs, should enable the user to confidently identify orchids encountered in the field in Victoria." -- BOOK JACKET |
