 These so-called "jewels of Africa" with their sparkling flowers, distinctive growth habit and floriferous nature are much prized and this account, the first to include the angraecoid orchids of both Africa and Madagascar, is long awaited. It brings together in a single volume, descriptions of all 690 species in this intriguing group of orchids and will be the essential peference for all angraecoid enthusiasts for years to come. Stewart, Hermans and Campbell have all spent time in various parts of eastern and southern Africa and precise ecological information relating to the habitat, altitude preferences and flowering season of individual plants will be particularly helpfull to growers. The diagonstic features of each genus are illustrated and over half the species are accompanied by exquisite photographs taken in both wild habitat and in cultivation. |
