About this product

Product Information

All 28 species of Scotland's wild orchids are described in detail and illustrated with colour photographs. Up-to-date distribution maps and a comprehensive field key supplemented with line drawings should prove useful to professional botanists and amateur naturalists alike. In the chapters on biology, habitats and conservation, the authors have combined their several areas of botanical expertise to present a complete picture of this group of plants. Specially commissioned pictures were taken over three orchid seasons and there is a chapter on the photographic techniques used to capture the fragile beauty of these orchids in their sometimes remote and often threatened habitats. This book from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, is intended for orchid enthusiasts, botanists, naturalists, and anyone who enjoys the countryside and wild flowers. Chapter Five, the field key, is available as a separate booklet (0-11-495105-5) for on-the-spot identification.

    Accurately described, fairly priced, excellent communication and timely delivery. Through no fault of the sender the book arrived in ripped packaging with damaged pages and having been run over by a pallet truck or similar machinery whilst in transit with Whistle. The sender promptly refunded the purchase price and apologised although blameless. I have no qualms buying from them in the future just in their choice of delivery firm.

    Paperback facsimile edition of The Road To Oz. Very good condition, exactly as advertised by seller. Arrived promptly in secure packaging. Better World Books are totally reliable and have an amazing range of books at reasonable prices. Plus, they don't bombard you with advertising and spammy offers like some of their competition. Highly recommended.

    Well worth a look

    This book is a great read, full of useful and interesting information specific to orchids in Scotland. Whilst it indicates where the various species are likely to be found, specific localities are not given and there is no gazetter of nature reserves, which would be useful to a visitor from South of the border. Wwwwhat the book does include is well written and well informed - recommended reading.
