This encyclopaedia acts as a guide for both amateur and professional orchid enthusiasts. It comprehensively catalogues cultivated orchids, offering an accessible resource for those with or without botanical training.
It details each valid genus within the Orchidaceae family, arranged alphabetically, and discusses hybrids and genetic relatives. The book also provides cultural directions, accommodating for varying species. Descriptions of component species, commonly found and traded, are included with abbreviations explained. Rarer species are also mentioned.
Beyond descriptions, the book explains terminology and pronunciations and has a list of multigeneric hybrid groups. The work contains illustrations that showcase genera and species not typically featured in other orchid literature. Its ambition is to be a continuing encyclopaedia, keeping up to date with international co-operation.
