‎Of Men and Orchids‎

‎Allmendingen Switzerland: Published by the author 2015. NEW. Very well illustrated quarto pp 303 black cloth a very good copy in dustwrapper. LIMITED EDITION OF 250 COPIES ONLY. Further volumes are promised in the future. A heavy book - extra postage will probably be necessary. "This is neither a book on how humans grow orchids nor a treatise of how they classsify plants but an extraordinary look at the bond that unites men - botanists gardeners plant hunters explorers - to the names of orchids and the histories behind their discovery and scientific apprehension. The work is a great step into the realm of history and orchids are the perfect excuse to expose the efforts the courage and bravery the ambition and jealousies and the indomitable will of those men in the flesh who have made it possible to discover and name the amazing diversity of plants. Each of the 41 chapters that compose the volume tell the story of an orchid or a few orchids and a man beginning with Acineta beyrodtiana and Otto Beyrodt going through complete biographical sketches of the protagonists and discussing the sometimes complex taxonomy of the concerned orchid species. You will find very acknowledged names in plant history like the Loddiges and Wendland dynasties or botanists of the eminence of Eduard Friedrich Poeppig and Achille Richard or famous explorers like Kegel and Jenman but you will be also surprised at finding several less known names who compose the extraordinary story of orchidology. Vriese Comparetti Haller Raddi Loefgren Lauche and Brade Moquette and Hasskarl are just a few of the many characters that are presented in the book together with the orchids that immortalize their names" - Franco Pupulin.

‎Dendrobium of Borneo‎

‎Kota Kinabalu 2014. Very well illustrated very large thick 8vo pp xii 946 a very good copy in dustwrapper. Extremely heavy - extra postage will be required. Dendrobium with approximately 1450 species is one of the most diverse genera in the orchid family and the second biggest orchid genus in Southeast Asia after Bulbophyllum. Its natural range extends from Japan south across the Pacific to Tahiti and New Zealand and from China and India to New Guinea and Australia. Centres of speciation are found in the Himalayan region Indochina the Malay Archipelago especially Sumatra and Borneo the Philippines and New Guinea. Dendrobiums have been popular with growers since the mid nineteenth century. They continue to be popular today and many beautiful hybrids have been bred. Borneo is one of several �hot spots� of Dendrobium speciation. With 167 named species in fifteen sections as well as several others that remain to be described Borneo is the second most important location after New Guinea of Dendrobium speciation in Malesia. Most species occur as epiphytes in hill and lower montane forest at moderate elevation mostly between about 900 and 1600 m. First Edition. Pictorial laminated boards. New/New. Hardcover‎

Bilingual English/Chinese text. According to preliminary reports by botanists China has about 1200 species of orchids. Although they represent only a small proportion of the world's total they grow in large quantities and are quite varied. Many species are traditionally highly prized. China's Yunnan Province is one of the richest orchid resource areas in the world. It has over 530 species in about 100 genera. Among them Paphiopedilum markianum is a new species discovered in the early 1990s and is endemic to China P. amenianum known as "jintong "or"jindu"in Hong kong has beautiful yellow flowers and is extremely rare. lts discovery has drawn a great deal of attention from botanists and horticulturists in various countries. Another species P. malipoense is regarded by specialists as representaive asof the most primitive Paphiopedilum being in fact an intermediate of transitional species between the more primitive Cypripedium and Paphiopedilum.

‎Malesian Orchid Journal Volume 13‎

‎Kota Kinabalu 2014. Well illustrated large slim 8vo pp 128 paperback a very good copy. Genus Bulbophyllum here has five undescribed species named & described by Peter O�Byrne & Ong Poh Teck. From Borneo comes the attractive new Dendrobium tanjiewhoei. Jeffrey Wood and Destario Metusala report on the discovery in southern Borneo of Dendrobium platycaulon previously only known from the Philippines. They note that the flowers of the Borneo form are more colourful than the Philippine form. A very large number of new species are still to be expected from the eastern parts of Malesia especially Sulawesi Maluku and New Guinea. These islands are to this day very much under-explored botanically. In his article in this volume Paul Ormerod estimates that 300 - 500 orchid species from New Guinea still await description. The attractive genus Paraphalaenopsis ranks with Paphiopedilum among the genera most endangered by commercial collecting in Malesia. All four species are highly sought after and are now undoubtedly very rare in the wild. They are only known from Borneo where they are apparently confined to riverine habitats in lowland rainforest. One of the species P. laycockii is not even recorded from any particular locality - all the wild-collected plants of this species have so far been brought in by commercial collectors who have kept the precise origin of the species secret. Remaining in Borneo Phillip Cribb reviews our surprisingly scant knowledge of the genus Vanilla from this island. All Vanilla species are large climbers which are not rarely encountered in the wild in suitable habitats but often when not in flower. They have very short-lived flowers that make poor herbarium specimens. As a result the taxonomy of this genus is still unsatisfactory. In Volume 12 2013 an incorrect version of the article Flora of Peninsular Malaysia - Cypripedioideae was printed. Here we include the proper version of this article which is the one to be cited in future references. Paperback. New. Paperback‎

‎A Guide to Orchids of Kinabalu‎

‎Kota Kinabalu 2013. Well illustrated small 8vo pp vi 146 paperback upper corner bumped otherwise a very good copy. Mount Kinabalu situated in the Malaysian state of Sabah is at 4095 m the highest peak between Myanmar and Papua Indonesian New Guinea. Kinabalu was declared Malaysia�s First World Heritage Site by UNESCO in November 2000. The Kinabalu massif encompassing only about 1250 km2 is smaller than most English counties yet an astonishing number of orchids are recorded here. Some 866 taxa in 134 genera have recently been documented from the massif. Nearly 38% of the orchid species are known from just one locality and about 16% have been collected only once. The Kinabalu vascular plant flora may include as many as 5000 to 6000 species and is one of the most diverse if not the most diverse floras in the world. Additionally Mount Kinabalu has been a centre of extremely active plant evolution and speciation and presents a spectacular natural laboratory for studying these processes. Bearing in mind that much of the mountain especially the remote and inaccessible northern side is still poorly explored botanically one can get some idea of the biological richness of the mountain. An alarming fact that has emerged from recent studies is that the natural vegetation of nine out of eighteen of the most important orchid locations based upon numbers of species on Kinabalu most of which are at elevations below 2000 m have either been degazetted from the Park or destroyed by fire damage deliberate or otherwise. Some of these sites such as the distinctive forest developed over ultramafic substrate on the lower southeast slopes once boasted many species of great horticultural value including Paphiopedilum rothschildianum Paraphalaenopsis labukensis and Renanthera bella. Ex-situ conservation of some species especially epiphytes may be necessary as many of the higher elevation taxa are now threatened by the effects of global warming. The advent of El Nino events that devastated the upper slopes of the mountain during the 1982-1983 and 1997-�1998 droughts in Borneo saw the demise of thousands of epiphytes. This guide presents a selection of 100 species of orchid that can be found growing wild in Kinabalu Park. It is offered in the hope that it will provide a glimpse into this unique natural heritage for the visitor and help in the future protection of the orchids of this unique and fascinating mountain.
