"The rapidly expanding interest in the indigenous orchid of Africa among the world-wide fraternity of orchid growers and among local amateur botanists has emphasised the need for an introductory treatment of the South African orchids. This book provides a concise illustrated guide to these plants with the means whereby the amateur orchidologist can identify them at least to the genera and understand some of the curious floral structures that occur amongst this fascinating group of plants.".
