Kühn, R.; Pedersen, H.Æ.; Cribb, P. - Field Guide to the Orchids of Europe and the Mediterranean

Kew Publishing 2024 462, 2000 col plates, 300 maps. 234x156mm. PB. NEW. . Second edition. An updated, comprehensive, photographic guide to the orchids of Europe and the Mediterranean region. Written by leading experts, who between them have decades of orchid field and research experience, the book covers orchids from Europe and the Mediterranean, extending to Turkey and the immediate near east of North Africa and Macaronesia.Many guides to orchids of this region exist, but in this completely revised second edition, the authors have drawn on the latest scientific research to bring clarity to orchid identification and names, with an emphasis on the natural variability that exists in many wild species. Incorporates the latest updates in taxonomy. With over 2000 color photographs and new images, the book provides an accessible and easy-to-use identification guide to the natural variability seen in these orchids.Covers thirty genera and their species including Ophrys, Cypripedium, Orchis, Dactylorhiza, Epipactis, and Serapias, as well as seventy natural hybrids. Much of the confusion over identification is due to the morphological variation a species can have within a habitat and across its distribution, and therefore to simplify identification, several images accompany each species to illustrate this diversity, along with notes on distinguishing features and distribution maps. Each species is also accompanied by common names and important synonyms, as well as notes on habitat, flowering times, and distinguishing features.. [9781842468197]
