Soft cover. Condition: New. 196 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index.

In this book we would like to give readers an impression of the diversity found in the orchids that are growing in the wild in Myanmar. After short introductory chapters, with general notes on the country and its orchid flora, we describe and illustrate 116 selected examples of Myanmar orchid species.
