Synopsis:
Devoted to the orchids of Kenya, this work deals with all the epiphytic species, the lianes in the genus Vanilla, and the terrestrial kinds. About two-thirds of the species are illustrated in colour, many of them in close-up, and a chapter on the work on orchid conservation at the National Museum of Kenya is also included. The text describes each species, where it grows in Kenya, and when it flowers. Other African countries where each can be found are also mentioned. For each of the 50 genera there are historical notes and distribution data, as well as hints on cultivation, and keys to the genera and species are provided to help anyone who is interested in orchids to identify those they find in Kenya.
