Masdevallias is a rich and rewarding literary meal, delightful in taste and graced with good nutrition ... Do not let this jewel go unnoticed. Boox Review 20051118 The experienced and knowledgeable coauthors (both are independent scholars) have provided the first comprehensive book on this genus of Central and South American orchids. -- L. G. Kavaljian Choice 20060301 Mary Gerritsen and Ron Parsons give this beautiful genus its well-deserved moment in the sun. -- Jerry Parsons Pacific Horticulture 20060501 This book could easily serve as a coffee table book to 'wow' friends. Sida, Contributions to Botany 20050101 A jewel: an important contribution to orchid literature and an invaluable guide to anyone interested in the genus. To have all of this material in one volume is a treasure. I enthusiastically recommend it. -- Marguerite Webb Orchids 20060501 The first complete reference of Masdevallia orchids ever published. -- Pauline Keegan Hobby Greenhouse 20060701
