  • The author

China is considered having over 1240 species of native in nearly 173 genera. Approximately one fourth of them are of horticultural merit, and some have attracted worldwide attention, such as paphiopedilums, cypripediums, pleiones and cymbidiums. The present work is a companion volume of THE ORCHID OF CHINA, a mainly textual book published in 1998, and aims to provide colour illustrations of wild species of horticultural importance. Altogether 403 species and two varieties, belonging to 117 genera, are included in this book. There are 791 colour photographs provided for the taxa treated, with many published for the first time such as Cypripedium micranthum Franch. and paphiopedilum emersonii Koopowitz et Cribb.

 

Most of the photographs were taken by the authors themselves in the fields, especially Prof. Tsi Zhanhuo who has spent over ten years carrying out fieldwork in southern and southwestern China.
A detailed description, both in Chinese and English, is given of each species and variety in the attempt to provide more useful information based mainly on the authors' firsthand materials. The genera and species are arranged alphabetically. A map of China is provided with all provinces and autonomous regions in Chinese, English and Chinese phonetic annotation in order to meet the needs of both Chinese and foreign readers.
