Description

Ethiopia's orchids are sparsely represented in herbaria and their biology, ecology and conservation status remains poorly understood. With detailed descriptions, keys, line drawings, distribution maps and colour photographs, this field guide is an invaluable source to anyone who wants to identify these orchids in the field.
