This, the seventh volume in a respected series of books, continues a policy of presenting significant reviews by outstanding authorities in the field. The chapters in this volume include reviews of molecular biology of orchids, mycorrhiza, embryology, ethnobotany and research in Japan. Like previous volumes in this series, the present one will serve the need of orchid scientists and growers and botanists in general.

'The book is well-presented, well-written and well-printed. It should be of considerable interest to orchid specialists and growers, and botanists in general.' Biologia Plantarum, 42:1 (1999)
