Written by two highly experienced botanists, it includes all the orchids that you are likely to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentification guide to 69 species, subspecies and hybrids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes comprehensive identification key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical for use outdoors: lightweight, rucksack-sized, splash-proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlluring and mysterious, orchids are superstars of the botanical world. Although some species are famously rare, others are much more common, especially in the south. With a little targetted effort, you should be able to find 5-10 species easily within reasonable distance of your home. Despite their exotic appearance, orchids can pop up in some surprisingly mundane places, from industrial estates to roundabouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful colour illustrations show the key identification features of each plant, including flowers, leaves and stems. Then use the illustrated identification keys to check the main diagnostic characters. Distribution, habitats, statutory Conservation Designations and statutory Rarity Designations are outlined for each species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the scientific names of orchids have changed greatly over time, the names used in this guide are fully up to date. But forms described here as subspecies may appear in other accounts as species or as varieties. Likewise single species here may include two or more species as described by other authors. Two common names have been generated where none existed previously. Hybrids between species occur, sometimes the two species are in different genera. Their features are usually intermediate between their parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis key is applicable to Great Britain, the Channel Isles and Ireland. Orchids may have both a Conservation Designation (applying to Great Britain) and a Rarity Designation (applying to Great Britain and the Isle of Man). The Biodiversity Designation applies to Great Britain, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese popular wildlife field guides measure 24.5 cm x 17.5 cm and are extremely lightweight so are the perfect identification aid for popping in your bag when heading outside. All wildlife identification guides are laminated, so are shower-proof and wipe-clean for use outside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Field Studies Council","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52535505322325,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/4677\/4101\/files\/Orchids.jpg?v=1770743981","url":"https:\/\/www.wildfungarium.com\/products\/orchids-wild-id-guide","provider":"Wild Fungarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
