photographic identification guide to the 51 orchid species native
to Britain and Ireland, including their various forms, and 9
species of uncertain provenance. The text includes key
identification information, flowering and germination times, and
differences between similar species and subspecies. Color
distribution maps show where each species has been seen in the past
25 years, while the accompanying text indicates its current
location. It is a comprehensive photographic guide to the orchids
of Britain and Ireland, covering the 51 species recorded, including
all the varieties and subspecies, as well as 9 species of uncertain
or doubtful provenance. It contains 60 stunning color plates that
show the whole plant and close-up views of flower spikes and
individual florets. Each species account covers the identification
of the plant, highlighting potentially confusing species. Where
appropriate, details are given of the hybrids recorded and a
summary of the taxonomic status. The species accounts also include
information on habitat requirements, pollination, and conservation.
Color distribution maps and a summary of the flowering period(s)
accompany the text for each species. Additional illustrated
sections cover orchid biology and ecology, protection,
conservation, and hybrids. The innovative, easy-to-use format aims
