Description:
Kota Kinabalu, 2015. Well illustrated, small slim 8vo, pp x, 150, paperback, a very good new copy. [Dendrobium species are attractive, conspicuous and numerous along the entire eastern coast of Australia, and are popular plants for culture and breeding of colourful hybrids. In contrast to the other books in the series so far, where a selection of species was made, all Australian species and their variants (around 80) are included. There is a full spectrum of plant form from some of the smallest mat-forming dendrobiums to the largest in the genus, being over two metres tall and several metres across. The unusual and rarer species of Cape York Peninsula and central Queensland are uncommon in collections and seldom seen, requiring travel to remote places. Some of the most striking Dendrobium habitats are illustrated. There have been a number of approaches to the classification of Dendrobium and related genera over the past 30 years. Classification and nomenclature are always evolving as new information…

Description:
Natural History Publications (Borneo), 2015. x, 150, col photos. 215x150mm. PB. NEW. . The genus Dendrobium is one of the largest and most widespread orchid genera, with a long history associated with the discovery of Australia and its regions. In the 19th and 20th centuries the number of species increased steadily, with a few recent discoveries of variants, but no entirely new species has been described in Australia for twenty years. There are about 60 species in Australia compared to approximately 560 species in neighbouring New Guinea. Australian dendrobiums are represented in more than half of the Dendrobium sections, and about 34 species are endemic. The isolation of the island continent of Australia for around 40 million years following the breakup of Gondwanaland is a key factor in the high rate of endemism. Distribution in Australia is restricted to specific habitats along the eastern coastline associated with the Great Dividing Range, and a small number of species extend west to the northern…
