This handbook serves as an introduction to Nigeria's little-known orchid flora, aiming to ignite interest in these plants. It features 104 species with 170 photographs.
The book simplifies orchid identification with illustrations and keys. The descriptions of each species are detailed, though botanic terminology is explained. It divides Nigerian orchids into terrestrials and epiphytes to aid identification. It presents many species in pictures for the first time, hoping to boost interest in the West African orchid flora.
The book also acknowledges the threats to African orchids from deforestation and agriculture, which puts the need to document these plants and preserve them, even if some disappear in the future.
