Genera Orchidacearum: Volume 2. Orchidoideae (Part 1) (Hardcover)

Genera Orchidacearum provides a comprehensive, robust classification of the orchids, with descriptions of individual species and cultural information. It begins wiht introductory chapters outlining the long history of efforts by plant scientists and breeders to provide a scientific classification of the orchids. This is the first fully comprehensive, modern treatment of orchid classification to be published. Volume two looks at 100 genera in subfamily Orchidaceae, many of them with bizarre pollination mechanisms. Recent advances in molecular approaches, especially multigene analyses, combined with several other types of new data, have resulted in a redefinition of many genera. This volume aims to produce a more robust and natural account of the orchids at the generic level, and to incorporate this new molecular data into a truly phylogenetic classification, whilst identifying areas and taxa that require additional study.
