The southwest of Western Australia has only terrestrial native orchids but with around 450 such species it has a high proportion of the terrestrial orchids found in Australia.
This is an orchid guide with a difference. Instead of covering all species with total distribution areas, this book treats a representative collection of orchids in great detail. The specific sites for each orchid are illustrated with mud maps. The book cross-references some 275 orchids with approximately 230 sites in the greater southwest of Western Australia. Every orchid is photographed in colour.
