Guide Découverte des Orchidées d'Europe et de Méditerrannée

Description:

Text French. A comprehensive photographic guide to the orchids of Europe by leading experts. Covers 30 genera and their species including Ophrys, Cypripedium, Orchis, Dactylorhiza, Epipactis and Serapias, as well as 70 natural hybrids. Much of the confusion over identification is due to the morphological variation a species can have within a habitat and across its distribution, and therefore to simplify identification, several images accompany each species to illustrate this diversity, along with notes on distinguishing features and distribution maps. For each species common names and important synonyms, as well as notes on habitat, flowering times and distinguishing features are provided.
