Phylogeny and Classification of the Orchid Family

by Robert L. Dressler

The author feels that much more study and analysis is needed before a fully natural classification of the orchid family can be achieved, but this book provides a reference point in the ongoing discussions. It begins with discussion of structure and other evidence of relationship before proceeding to more specific coverage. Includes drawings and color photos. Printed in Hong Kong on acidic paper.
