Media reviews

"39 different botanists from nine different countries are listed as contributing authors in this newest volume of the series. This fact alone says a great deal about the importance of this book and its value to orchidology. [...] an absolute must have for anyone interested in orchid biology [...] an organized, easily readable and attractive book. I strongly encourage both orchid scientists and general orchid enthusiasts to consider purchasing Volume 4 of Genera Orchidacearum"
– Ken Cameron, The New York Botanical Garden, AOS Magazine 2006
