80 colour photos. This book is devoted to Bulbophyllum with over 200 species covered.

26 colour plates, 100 line drawings; a selection of 100 genera.  Each species is illustrated by a line drawing accompanied by a detailed description and notes on habitat, distribution, points of interest and etymology.

This is the first book about the the orchids of Sulawesi. over 100 years ago J.J. Smith published Die Orchideen von Ambon, and since then much has been written about the orchids of Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, New Guinea, but until now, nothing on Sulawesi. This has been an omission as Sulawesi is where three totally different regions meet, mingle and interact. Sulawesi is unique as is many of its orchids.

Bulbophyllum, with approximately 1900–2000 species, is the largest orchid genus in the world. Although it can be found in tropical America and Africa, the majority of the species occur in S.E. Asia, and it is only here that the genus shows the full range of its diversity. This publication is a revision of the 123 species and 4 subspecies of Bulbophyllum that are found in Sulawesi. It contains descriptions of all 127 taxa, and illustrates the majority of them with colour photographs, line drawings, or both.

The book is organised into sections according to the latest developments in orchid taxonomy; 24 Bulbophyllum sections are represented in Sulawesi. Keys to the sections and species are provided. There is a chapter on the biogeography of Sulawesi (which helps explain why the island is so unique) and chapters dealing with the island's forests and orchid habitats.
Unlike many orchid books which are dependent on recycling old material, Bulbophyllum of Sulawesi is the product of original research and fieldwork. This is how 60 of the species in this book (an astonishingly high 47% of the total) came to be discovered during the course of this investigation.

Dendrobium, with approximately 1580 species, is one of the most diverse genera in the orchid family. Its natural range extends from Japan south across the Pacific to Tahiti and New Zealand, and from China and India to New Guinea and Australia.

Borneo is one of several ‘hot spots’ of Dendrobium speciation. With approximately 167 named species in 15 sections, Borneo is the second most important location after New Guinea of Dendrobium speciation in Malesia. Eighty-three species, representing a selection from each of the 15 sections, are described and figured in this guide. Most occur as epiphytes in hill and lower montane forest at moderate elevation, mostly between about 900 and 1600 m. An account of all the Dendrobiums occurring in Borneo is currently in preparation.

The dendrobium orchid industry is one of the fastest growing agricultural industries in Hawaii, with an increased awareness of and interest in commercial dendrobium production and marketing.  Based on a scientific study of the cut flower industry, this book details nursery practices and structures;  pests and pest management and diseases; harvesting and grading of dendrobiums.  While specifically aimed at the floral industry, this book contains excellent photos showing damage caused to plants by various pests and diseases; includes treatment of these problems.  A must for growers with large numbers of plants.

Contains more than 600 colour photos, showing approx. 450 species.  Included are photographic studies of plant and flower details and views of habitat.  An alphabetical discussion of species includes all of those illustrated and others of botanical or taxonomic interest.  Dr Wood's comprehensive account of Dendrobium and related genera is the result of 25 year's research. Subjects include morphology, physiology, taxonomy, biogeography, plate tectonics, ecology and evolution.  Following recent molecular studies, he divides the genera into two major clades, one tracing to India and the other to Australia, and follows their distribution from Asia and Australia to Guam and Tahiti.

Contains a taxonomic revision of the Bulbophyllinae, with the genera Bulbophyllum (including Cirrhopetalum and Megaclinium) and Chaseella, from continental Africa. Keys are given to the genera and species. Each species is presented with full synonymy, descriptions, notes on distribution, habitat etc. and a line drawing. Many species illustrated by colour photographs. Three new taxa are described: Bulbophyllum subligaculiferum, B. bidenticularum ssp. joyceae and B. scaberulum var. crotalicaudatum.

Presents a taxonomic revision of the genus Pholidota (9 sections, 29 species, 7 varieties). One species (P. mediocris) is described new. 3 species names are reduced to variety level. 28 species names and 8 variety names are reduced to synonymy. Keys are provided to the sections, species and varieties. Synonymy, description, distribution, habitat notes, and detailed illustrations are given for each species and variety.
