Additional Information

The 2 volumes include some 2000 colour photographs and paintings. At 6.7 kg (owing to the special fine-art paper used), it may also qualify as one of the weightiest botanical monographs ever published. The publication of The Cape Orchids sees the culmination of a mammoth botanical project that began 22 years ago and presents an authoritative account of the taxonomy and ecology of the 241 orchid species native to the Cape Floristic Region. The volumes reflect the considerable advances in digital photography and printing over the past decade, along with all the developments in botanical knowledge that have taken place during this period.
