4.0 out of 5 stars
the Big Book on Australian Orchids,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Gde to Native Orchids of Australia (Hardcover)
This is the best book to have if you're really serious about identifying the orchids you see in Australia. It's much better than any of the others - more complete, better pictures and descriptions. It provides a good view of the current understanding of the taxonomy of country's orchids. The pictures are generally great, the written descriptions useful.
Two quibbles - One, there are no keys to allow you to determine which of several closely related species you might have. Species or subspecies can be so similar that the pictures and the written descriptions don't allow you to distinguish among them. Two, range maps rather than place names (some of which are so small they don't make it into an Atlas) would be nice. Quibbles aside, it's a very useful book.
