About the Book

Cattleyas are frequently called "the Queen of the Orchids," and Carl Withner's passion for them started before World War II. About 12 years ago he published the first in this series of six books, which now comes to a conclusion with this final volume. The South American "Encyclia" species have not previously been the subject of a book, and the genus presents many problems and difficulties. A few of the species are known from a single herbarium specimen and may well now be extinct because of the continuing loss of habitat. This volume also includes taxonomic and nomenclatural changes affecting species covered in the earlier volumes, as well as additions and changes to the text of each of the five volumes.

Table of Contents:
General characteristics of the genus; the problems of classification; introgression in cattleyas; cattleya culture; description of the species; questionable or doubtful species.

Review :
"A pleasing, clear, instructive and to all appearances accurate book which is a bargain at the price ... This volume and the entire series are a credit to the author and well worth having and/or giving."--Joseph Arditti, Plant Science Bulletin, Summer 2001--Joseph Arditti "Plant Science Bulletin " "Books such as this can only help fire the enthusiasm for amateur botanists and growers to cultivate more taxa and save the species by "ex situ" conservation."--S. L.--S. L. Jury "New Phytologist " "Dr. Withner brings clarity, precision and enthusiasm for this group of plants to our attention and his unparalleled experience provides a wealth of information about species old, new, 'lost', 'rediscovered', and rare."-- Joyce Stewart, Orchid Research Newsletter, August 2000--Joyce Stewart "Orchid Research Newsletter " "I think it is a useful addition to the literature both for scientists and growers and I can recommend it to both communities."--Phillip Cribb, Curtis's Botanical Magazine, September 1996--Phillip Cribb "Curtis's Botanical Magazine " "Readers will enjoy the author's zeal and love for orchids revealed by his breadth of knowledge and candid, unpretentious, and flowing style of writing."--Diane B.--Diane B. Rhodes "E-Streams " "This book in six parts will appeal to botanists and orchid growers, both professional and hobbyist. Dr. Withner brings clarity, precision and enthusiasm for this group of plants to our attention, and his unparalleled experience provides a wealth of information about species old and new, 'lost', 'rediscovered', and rare."--Joyce Stewart, Plantsman, December 1994--Joyce Stewart "Plantsman " "Timber Press has done it again. The book is excellent, the copy is clear and the illustrations are clear. The entire six volume set should be part of the reference collection of anyone interested in cattleyas ... Congratulations to Timber Press for excellent additions to orchid literature. We look forward to others!"--Yoneo Sagawa, Hawaii Orchid Journal, December 2000--Yoneo Sagawa "Hawaii Orchid Journal " "A good addition to the reader's orchid library and a necessary reference for genera so popular in cultivation." Orchids, March 1999 "As the most complete work [Vols.I-VI] on these Central and South American orchids, it is essential for serious botanical and horticultural collections."--Library Journal, December 2, 2004 "Written so that both amateurs and professionals can easily understand the information provided ... I give this book my highest recommendation."--Suite101.com, May 31, 2002 " A good addition to the reader's orchid library and a necessary reference for genera so popular in cultivation."

Anyone interested in the Cattleya alliance should have this book among their reference books whether they be hobbyist, commercial growers, horticulturists or botanists. Timber Press has again done an excellent job in production of Volume V of this series. We can hardly wait to see the final volume.
