5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the finest summary of what is known about orchids., August 29, 1999
Robert Dressler combines an encyclopedic knowledge of the taxonomy, genetic makeup, and geographic distribution of orchids with a completely understandable prose devoid of scientific jargon. If one desires to find out about the orchid family as it exists on Earth this is probably the best simgle source available.
