Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine condition. Fine dust jacket. First Edition (so stated). The New York Botanical Garden, 1972. We have only this one copy, but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson, Nevada. FINE condition (but for something marked out on the front inside cover) in a bright and shiny Fine dust jacket. NO chips, tears, creases, or fading. All text and illustration pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked. Profusely illustrated with line drawings and gorgeous full color photos. Bound in the original gilt-stamped biege cloth. Complete with a beautiful dust jacket. From a 2013 review by C.P.S: "Years ago, as a teenager, I was given this book for my birthday. I essentially wore out my first copy poring over this text, memorizing names and locations of each of the orchid species presented in this book. Not only is the information complete, with Greek and/or Latin derivations for the scientific name and excellent botanical sketches giving the overall appearance and size and measurement of each flower, but it also contains excellent photographs and interesting, often humorous, anecdotes on Dr. Luer's adventures on finding many of these species in the field. While some of the nomenclature has been revised since the penning of this work, and a few new species have been added to our list of wild orchids, it still stands the test of time as THE definitive work on Florida's orchids. If you have any interest in learning more about Florida's orchids, you owe it to yourself to get this book!" From a 2011 review by David Rickman: The Native Orchids of Florida" by Carlyle Luer was a book I much coveted when I lived in Florida. It was full of excellent color photographs taken by the author, along with detailed descriptions and distribution notes. This is still a standard text and should be owned by anybody interested in the native species of Orchidaceae in the Sunshine State. It was a great thrill to see such beauties as the grass pink orchid (actually several species), ladies tresses (again, several species), the green fly orchid, and several others in the wild. [F]inding and photographing orchids is a good hobby, and this book is a fantastic guide for this activity. While much too large to carry into the field (there are a few pocket guides that serve better) it is by far the best reference book on the subject, even if there have been some taxonomic changes since its publication."
