Note Not long after publication of Orchid Biology, Reviews and
Perspectives (OB) volume VII, my co-editor, Dr. Alec M. Pridgeon
informed me that the pressure of other duties, especially the
editing of Genera Orchidacearum (GO) will make it impossible for
him to continue as co-editor and eventually editor ofthe series.
Alec is an excellent orchid scientist and editor. I was sorry to
that he had to leave OB, but glad that GO will be in his able
hands. The first volume of GO attests to his considerable abilities
and I wish him much success in the future. Editors of orchid
publications are not the most common of species (to use a botanical
analogy) and finding a replacement for Alec was not easy. However I
was fortunate that Dr. Tiiu Kull agreed to become my co-editor and
eventually take over the series. As is obvious from the
Contributors section Dr. Kull has extensive experience as both
writer and editor. My interactions with her while editing this
volume have convinced me she is an excellent choice. Scientifically
she brings to OB an appreciation and understanding of northern
terrestrial orchids, a group, which has not received as much
attention as it deserves. Another addition to OB is Dr. Tim Wing
Yam who agreed to become an associate editor. Tim, who holds a
position at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, will provide expertise
on seed germination, hybridization, tissue culture, species and
conservation.
