The Nature Guide to New Zealand Native Orchids
Ian St George

This book is an excellent reference and field guide to the over one hundred species of native orchid. The listings are alphabetically arranged by genus, with species by species descriptions accompanied by colour photographs and distribution maps to aid identification. The introduction describes the early botanists, collectors and botanical artists who focused on this group of plants and also details orchid structure, life cycle, and the habits and associations in which they thrive.
