Kota Kinabalu 2011. Very well illustrated large 8vo pp vii 247 a very good new copy. This is the only book ever written about the orchids of Sulawesi. More than one century has passed since J.J. Smith published Die Orchideen von Ambon and in that time books have been written about orchids in Malaysia Sumatra Java Borneo the Philippines New Guinea - in fact all the major territories and islands except Sulawesi. This is quite an astonishing omission because Sulawesi lies right at the heart of the region. It is the cross-roads of S.E. Asia in a botanic and zoological sense. It is the place where the plants and animals from three totally different regions meet mingle and interact. Sulawesi is unique and so are many of its orchids. Bulbophyllum with approximately 1900 - 2000 species is the largest orchid genus in the world. Although it can be found in tropical America and Africa the majority of the species occur in S.E. Asia and it is only here that the genus shows the full range of its diversity. Bulbophyllum of Sulawesi is a scientific revision of the 123 species and 4 subspecies of Bulbophyllum that are found in Sulawesi. It contains descriptions of all 127 taxa and illustrates the majority of them with colour photographs line drawings or both. The book is organised into sections according to the latest developments in orchid taxonomy; 24 Bulbophyllum sections are represented in Sulawesi. Keys to the sections and species are provided. There is a chapter on the biogeography of Sulawesi which helps explain why the island is so unique and chapters dealing with the island�s forests and orchid habitats. Unlike many orchid books which are dependent on recycling old material Bulbophyllum of Sulawesi is the product of original research and fieldwork. This is how 60 of the species in this book an astonishingly high 47% of the total came to be discovered during the course of this investigation. First Edition. Cloth. New/Very Good. Hardcover

2001. Very well illustrated large thick 8vo pp 600 pictorial boards very good. The standard work. N.B. weighs over 2 kilos - extra postage may be needed. Orchids are among the most enchanting and beautiful of the floral components of Sarawak. Since the pioneering studies into orchids of the 19th century more than 7000 permanently preserved specimens have accumulated in the world's herbaria. These represent over 1000 species in 120 genera and provide the basis for enumerating all presently known orchid species occurring naturally in the state. Although many orchid collections are now available for Sarawak the orchid flora of the state still cannot be considered well known particularly because 306 fully determined taxa have been collected only once; only 51 taxa are represented by more than 15 collections. About 82% of the species are epiphytic and 21% terrestrial some species are both epiphytic and terrestrial. Among the taxa included in the enumeration are 127 known only from Sarawak; 302 additional taxa have been found only in Borneo. Application of the IUCN Red List categories and criteria for orchids known only from Sarawak resulted in the classification of 74 taxa as critically endangered 39 as endangered and 13 as vulnerable.

Woodbridge: Antique Collectors' Club in Association with the Royal Horticultural Society 1999. Illustrated large octavo pp 232 a very good copy in a very slightly worn dustwrapper. John Lindley is honoured nowadays as the foremost British orchidologist of the 19th century indeed by some as 'the father of orchidology'. He is especially remembered for his fundamental achievement in the classification description and naming of orchids. He established more than 120 genera of Orchidaceae. However he was also among the most industrious and productive of the 19th-century botanists. As administrator professor horticulturalist taxonomist editor journalist and botanical artist he used his time to the full. His forthright report on the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew saved it from destruction and provided a view of the potentialities which led ultimately to the development of Kew into a world-important institution. This volume commemorates the bi-centenary of his birth. William Stearn sketches Lindley's career as a whole and the distinguished panel of contributors he has brought together then give more detailed treatment to Lindley's roles as orchidologist as palaeobotanist and as horticulturalist. Cloth. Very Good/Very Slightly Worn. Antique Collectors' Club in Association with the Royal Horticultural Society Hardcover
