Orchids represent probably the largest of all flowering plantfamilies on Earth and are renowned the world over for theirexquisite flowers. Their remarkable blooms occur in all manner ofsize and shape, and orchid flowers range from some of the smallestand most diminutive in the plant kingdom to some of the largestand most flamboyant. Historically, the most popular orchids incultivation have been those with large, showy flowers, however asignificant proportion of known orchid species are far smaller.Within this group lie the true jewels of the orchid family, theminiature orchid species, which can produce some of the mostunusual and often spectacular flowers of all. This two volumework, A Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species, presents a richlyillustrated insight into the very finest epiphytic and lithophyticminiature orchids currently in cultivation, focusing not only onthose species with remarkable flowers, but also the many speciesthat are grown for their striking leaf and plant forms.Produced with both novices and experts in mind, this exhaustiveand accessibly written work features individual entries for over500 different species across more than 120 genera. Each speciesentry includes nomenclatural and etymological information, as wellas cultivation guidance and notes about habitat, conservationstatus and similarities to other orchids. The species entries alsoincorporate newly published taxonomic data that is also reflectedin the extensive cross-index of orchid names and synonyms, and allspecies are generously represented with numerous photographs,including images of other species with which they are easilyconfused.

The content includes; what defines an orchid of monopodial/vandaceous growth; the tremendous variation in plant and flower habit including the considerable array of perfumes; notes and observations on recently proposed generic changes based on first generation molecular technology; the main chapter on 'Selected Genera and Species of the Asian Vandoid Orchids' covers 72 genera and more than 180 species with text descriptions defining each genus and the included reprasentative species with their plant and flower habit/s, countries of distribution and notes on habitat and altitudinal range enhanced with very nice colour photos. The following chapters include miscellaneous notes and other observations on the genus Renanthera accompanied by the proposal of 1 new section and 2 new species which are nicely described and illustrated accompanied further with notes and technical drawings on the little known entity Renanthera moluccana and other species, including the unique pollination syndrome of the sister genus Renantherella and its type species R. histrionica.
