520 |a If you are one of the multitudes of people captivated by orchids, let world-renowned orchidologist J. D. Ackerman and his collaborators take you to one of the world's biodiversity hotspots in this extensively researched book. This taxonomic treatment covers each orchid species of the Greater Antilles, totaling 109 genera and 594 species. Chock-full of informative features, this is the go-to orchid guide covering these immensely fascinating islands. The taxonomic treatments include: • complete synonymy with types • description • relevant taxonomic literature (genus treatments) • vernacular names, if any • taxonomic discussion • notes on distribution, ecology, and conservation status (species treatments) • high-quality scientific illustrations (species treatments) English and Spanish versions are given for the key to genera, keys to the species under each genus, and the glossary of orchid-related technical terms. This treatment reflects many of the recent changes in generic circumscriptions brought about by molecular systematics. In an appendix the author provides a phylogenetic classification of the orchid genera of the Greater Antilles. --Provided by publisher.
