A Personal Note I decided to initiate Orchid Biology: Reviews and
Perspectives in about 1972 and (alone or with co-authors) started
to write some of the chapters and the appendix for the volume in
1974 during a visit to the Bogor Botanical Gardens in Indonesia.
Professor H. C. D. de Wit of Holland was also in Bogor at that time
and when we discovered a joint interest in Rumphius he agreed to
write a chapter about him. I visited Bangkok on my way home from
Bogor and while there spent time with Professor Thavorn Vajrabhaya.
He readily agreed to write a chapter. The rest of the chapters were
solicited by mail and I had the complete manuscript on my desk in
1975. With that in hand I started to look for a publisher. Most of
the publishers I contacted were not interested. Fortunately Mr
James Twiggs, at that time editor of Cornell University Press, grew
orchids and liked the idea. He decided to publish Orchid Biology:
Reviews and Per spectives, and volume I saw the light of day in
1977. I did not know if there would be a volume II but collected
manuscripts for it anyway. Fortunately volume I did well enough to
justify a second book, and the series was born. It is still alive
at present - 20 years, seven volumes and three publishers later. I
was in the first third of my career when volume I was published."
