Species accounts provide information on distribution, habitat, flowering, key diagnostic features and conservation status, along with complete taxonomic descriptions. Each account includes stunning botanical illustrations produced by graduates of the University of Newcastle's Bachelor of Natural History Illustration program. The illustrations depict key diagnostic features and allow complete identification of each species.

Brown reveals the best spots to search for the orchids he describes and offers expert advice on how to plan and execute an enjoyable (and environmentally responsible) outing.

Download or read book Travels and Adventures of an Orchid Hunter written by Albert Millican and published by . This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1887 and 1891, Albert Millican made five trips to the orchid-rich areas of South America, concentrating on the Northern Andes. It was a time of orchid mania when a rare specimen could fetch around $25,000 in today's money. Prospectors shipped millions of orchid bulbs to Europe knowing less than one percent would survive the journey. The reasons for this sudden interest in orchids have several overlapping explanations: the ascension of the modern greenhouse; Darwin's work on the coevolution of insects and orchids; and a broader Victorian fascination with curios collected from around the world. In Millican's book we get a first-hand look at what it took to locate, identify, and transplant these ephemeral beauties from the slopes of the Andes to a nation halfway across the globe.
