Seller's Description:
Used-Like New. In this supplement to his celebrated series of books on the Cattleya alliance of orchids, Carl Withner joins with Patricia Harding to explore 'the debatable epidendrums. ' Carl Linnaeus established the genus 'Epidendrum' in 1753 to include the mostly epiphytic orchid plants being sent to him from tropical America. Over time the genus grew to include more than 1000 species of evergreen epiphytic, lithophytic, or terrestrial orchids. Some of these epidendrums were transferred to other genera. Others have yet to be divided into natural subgroups, which could be split off into their own genera. A portion of these remaining epidendrums, those with pseudobulbs, are the focus of this volume. This book is certain to be of use to hobbyists, collectors, and growers alike. First announced in 1988 as 'A Book in Six Parts, ' this monumental series is now complete. The latest volume, The Debatable Epidendrums, focuses on the portion of the genus with pseudo-bulbs. Slight scratching/scuffing on dust jacket.
