More than 80 pages of photos and descriptions of a selection of species. Most pages contain a detailed photo of the flower and a photo of the raceme or the flowering plant insitu.
The book will be of value to all those interested in New Guinea dendrobiums as the listings are the most up to date for some time from an area where species are still being discovered.
