Common species as well as rare and new species depicted for the first time 300 in all, are thoroughly described in terms of growth habit and habitat and distribution, with comment on their naming and history, and illustrated in color photos (most by David P. Banks and David Titmuss). Cootes, an Australian who has been studying native orchids of the Philippines for two-plus decades, also supplies a chapter on orchid cultivation (with encouragement, even, for those who don't have a heated greenhouse) and offers his expertise to those who wish to contact him by e-mail.
