Orchids of Britain and Ireland: A Field and Site Guide. 2nd rev. ed. 2009. 370 col. photogr. 480 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
This well illustrated orchid guide covers the identification, biology and conservation of British and Irish orchids. Until recently,the whereabouts of the rarer species was shrouded in secrecy, making publication of any details ethically impossible. In the last few years,however, these veils have been lifted and it is now possible to publish locations for all but one or two species. For the first time, this book includes a detailed site guide, covering the best places to see orchids in Britain.
