Definitely a book not only for the exacting orchid enthusiast, but for evolutionary biologists and Darwinists; this volume continues the research initiated by Charles Darwin in his seminal publication on orchids and the mechanisms of their fertilization [On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects and the Good Effects of Intercrossing (1862)]. He described the various morphologically evolved lures developed by the flowers to attract the insects that increased pollination.
