A COMPLETE GUIDE TO NATIVE ORCHIDS OF AUSTRALIA: Revised Third Edition

The most comprehensive book ever published on the subject, this revised third edition of A Complete Guide to Native Orchids of Australia is a legacy resulting from a lifetimes work by David L. Jones and is an important

contribution to Australias recorded flora. The text provides details of when and where the taxa were named, etymology of the scientific names used, descriptions, distributions, habitats and notes for the 1,698 taxa of Australian native orchids, more than twice the number covered in the original edition of the book in 1988 and 394 more species than detailed in the second edition published in 2006. Of these, about 1,459 taxa are terrestrials, 239 epiphytes or lithophytes and six or seven exotic taxa have become naturalised.
