- Awards / Reviews: ‘… this is a publication that truly reflects the current state of knowledge on almost every aspect of orchid biology, not just taxonomy. The quality of the line drawings ranges from good to excellent. I would like to single those by Oliver Q. Whaley, which alone make the book worth purchasing…much more than a taxonomic treatise. All biologists who work on orchids should have it close at hand’. GENERA ORCHIDACEARUM Vol. 2 Book review – Plant Systematics and Evolution
