The Orchids of Tasmania - OB512054A

Of the 195 Tasmanian orchid species, close to half are now in danger of disappearing. The Orchids of Tasmania is a handbook, as well as a valuable contribution to science. Features include: colour photographs of every species; drawings and location maps; traditional identification keys based on floral features; a 'leaf-key' for identifying out-of-season plants; pointers to instant recognition of each species; together with notes on taxonomy, distribution, habitat, flowering time and response to fire. Also contains a comprehensive glossary and index.
