Summary Field Guide to the Orchids of New South Wales and Victoria is the first comprehensive, full-colour field guide to the native orchids of southeastern Australia. It describes all the known native orchids species - more than 550 of them - including 50 species not yet formally described. Every one is illustrated with a colour photograph, wherever possible taken in the field. The book contains comprehensive and authoritative descriptions, identification and field notes. Its handy size and organisation of species by botanical affinities rather than alphabetically makes it particularly suitable for use in the field. Field Guide to the Orchids of New South Wales and Victoria will prove a well-thumbed addition to the libraries of all orchid lovers, Australian native plant enthusiasts and bushwalkers, as well as professional botanists, ecologists and conservation officers
