PREFACE
|
Encyclopaedia of Cultivated Orchids gives concise guidance as to where orchids are found, and clear instructions as to how these habitats can be simulated in other climates, or in greenhouses, thus ensuring successful cultivation. Both the novice and the experienced grower are enabled to identify almost seven hundred genera.
Hybrid interests are well catered for with a list of the multigeneric orchid hybrid groups, and a cross-index of component genera.
There is also a guide to pronunciation of orchid technical names and terms.
