TitleLeadingThe
ReviewsA good addition to the reader's orchid library and a necessary reference for genera so popular in cultivation., Written so that both amateurs and professionals can easily understand the information provided . . . I give this book my highest recommendation., As the most complete work [Vols.I-VI] on these Central and South American orchids, it is essential for serious botanical and horticultural collections., "Richly documented and illustrated, with many reproductions and line drawings of historical valor, it covers the fifty Cattleya species."--Tropical Biology Review, 1998, 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.

SynopsisCattleyas are frequently called "the Queen of the Orchids," and Carl Withner's passion for them started before World War II. About 12 years ago he published the first in this series of six books, which now comes to a conclusion with this final volume. The South American "Encyclia" species have not previously been the subject of a book, and the genus presents many problems and difficulties. A few of the species are known from a single herbarium specimen and may well now be extinct because of the continuing loss of habitat. This volume also includes taxonomic and nomenclatural changes affecting species covered in the earlier volumes, as well as additions and changes to the text of each of the five volumes., Cattleyas are frequently called "the Queen of the Orchids," and Carl Withner's passion for them started before World War II.
