Editorial Reviews
Review
Suite101.com : Written so that both amateurs and professionals can easily understand the information provided . . . I give this book my highest recommendation.
Taxon : A landmark series.
Orchids : A good addition to the reader's orchid library and a necessary reference for genera so popular in cultivation.
Hawaii Orchid Journal : Anyone interested in the Cattleya alliance should have this book among their reference books whether they be hobbyist, commercial growers, horticulturists or botanists. Timber Press has again done an excellent job in production of Volume V of this series. We can hardly wait to see the final volume.
Library Journal : As the most complete work [Vols.I-VI] on these Central and South American orchids, it is essential for serious botanical and horticultural collections.
