Wild Orchids of Peninsular Malaysia is a comprehensive, richly illustrated book showcasing the diversity of the country's orchid flora. It includes chapters on the biology, ecology, taxonomy, botanical research, and conservation. More than 450 accurately named indigenous species (c. 50% of the total orchids flora in Peninsular Malaysia) are illustrated in high quality and full colour in this sumptuous volume. Conservation issues, particularly critical for the orchid family, are discussed and realistic solutions proposed to combat the depletion of the nation's wild orchids.
