Editorial Reviews
Review
"I think it is a useful addition to the literature both for scientists and growers and I can recommend it to both communities."—Phillip Cribb, Curtis's Botanical Magazine, September 1996 (Phillip Cribb Curtis's Botanical Magazine )
"Books such as this can only help fire the enthusiasm for amateur botanists and growers to cultivate more taxa and save the species by ex situ conservation."—S. L. Jury, New Phytologist, September 1996 (S. L. Jury New Phytologist )
"This book in six parts will appeal to botanists and orchid growers, both professional and hobbyist. Dr. Withner brings clarity, precision and enthusiasm for this group of plants to our attention, and his unparalleled experience provides a wealth of information about species old and new ,'lost', 'rediscovered', and rare."—Joyce Stewart, Plantsman, December 1994 (Joyce Stewart Plantsman )

Book Description
First announced ten years ago as "A Book in Six Parts," this monumental series is now almost complete. Although Cattleya is the best-known genus, other rewards & mysteries are to be found here-why, for example, Laelia should occur in Mexico & Central America & in Brazil, but not in Colombia & Venezuela linking the two regions. The latest book in this important series on cattleyas & their relatives is the largest volume yet, documenting 70 species in 15 genera, including Brassavola, very popular among growers, & continuing the discussion of Encyclia begun with the Caribbean species in Volume IV.
