The Nature Guide to New Zealand Native Orchids
by Ian St George, 176pp, Godwit, Auckland 1999, RRP$39.95. Anyone who enjoyed the Forest e Bird article about native orchids in our last issue would like this book. It’s full of wonderful pictures illustrating the more than a hundred species of native orchid, plus distribution maps and reader-friendly identification notes. There is an introductory section on early orchid botany and art; also sections on the structure and life cycle of these often tiny plants, and the habitats where they grow. If you have one of the earlier illustrated guides to orchids now is a good time to replace it as the names of several quite well-known species have been changed.
