Book Description
The intriguing adventures of orchid hunters and the early attempts at orchid identification and classification are described in the pages of Merle A. Reinikka's A History of the Orchid. Part I of this book offers a glimpse of the important dates, names, and incidents relevant to the historical role of orchids from ancient times to the recent past. Part II offers biographical sketches of more than 50 sigificant figures in orchid history and their contributions to the field. First published in 1972, A History of the Orchid is back with additions to the excellent bibliography and updated nomenclature supplied with the expert help of Robert L. Dressler and Gustavo A. Romero. The first book to bring to public attention the lives of orchid hunters and the myths and mysteries of their beloved plants is now available to a new generation of orchid lovers. Both amateurs and longtime orchid enthusiasts will be thrilled with the return of this book.
