4.0 out of 5 stars
a valuable reference,
This review is from: Orchids of Papua New Guinea (Hardcover)
This book is rich with many picts of Dendrobium species, and followed by short information on each of the species, appearance of flowers, growth habit and distribution. I always use this book with Dendrobium and Its Relatives by P. S. Lavarack to identify some orchids from eastern part of Indonesia(mostly Dendrobium family)
