Orchids represent probably the largest of all flowering plant families on Earth and

are renowned the world over for their exquisite flowers. Their remarkable blooms

occur in all manner of size and shape, and orchid flowers range from some of the

smallest and most diminutive in the plant kingdom to some of the largest and most

flamboyant. Historically, the most popular orchids in cultivation have been those

with large, showy flowers, however a significant proportion of known orchid

species are far smaller. Within this group lie the true jewels of the orchid family, the miniature orchid

species, which can produce some of the most unusual and often spectacular flowers of all. This two volume

work, A Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species, presents a richly illustrated insight into the very finest

epiphytic and lithophytic miniature orchids currently in cultivation, focusing not only on those species with

remarkable flowers, but also the many species that are grown for their striking leaf and plant forms.

Produced with both novices and experts in mind, this exhaustive and accessibly written work features

individual entries for over 500 different species across more than 120 genera. Each species entry includes

nomenclatural and etymological information, as well as cultivation guidance and notes about habitat,

conservation status and similarities to other orchids. The species entries also incorporate newly published

taxonomic data that is also reflected in the extensive cross-index of orchid names and synonyms, and all

species are generously represented with numerous photographs, including images of other species with

which they are easily confused.

These volumes offer:

(1) the most comprehensive, illustrated reference for miniature

orchid species published to date;

(2) a uniquely detailed overview of selected miniature orchid species

and cultivars from across 122 genera in an encyclopaedic format;

(3) over 1800 full-colour, small and large format photographs that

document each of the species covered; and

(4) the first print published images of a number of different species.

A Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species is up-to-date,

comprehensive, fully illustrated, and visually stunning. The work has

been prepared so as to remain accessible to specialist and non-

specialist audiences alike without compromising on valuable

technical detail. As such, it represents an important reference book

for miniature orchids, offering a spectacular overview of a group of

plants that will appeal to botanists, naturalists, ecologists,

conservationists and horticulturists alike.

In volume 1: An Introduction to the Orchid Family chapter offers a broad overview of the orchid family as a

whole; information about orchid nomenclature; an illustrated guide to the morphology of the different

orchid flower types, orchid pollination mechanisms, and also the various types of orchid plant habit, stems,

roots, leaves, pseudobulbs and inflorescences that one might

encounter. The Habitats of Miniature Orchids and their

Conservation section introduces the conservation issues facing orchids in

nature; an illustrated guide to the types of habitat that they are found in;

and an explanation of the different assessment categories that exist to

help monitor and regulate orchids in the context of plant conservation.

Thereafter, the comprehensive Miniature Orchid Culture section

addresses the specific needs of miniature orchids, with guidance on

temperature; light and lighting types; humidity; air movement; water

quality, watering frequency, volume and temperature; application of

fertiliser; the different types of growing areas suited to miniature orchid

culture and how they are managed; potting, mounting and labelling of

plants; and finally an explanation of good hygiene practices and the most

commonly encountered orchid pests and diseases. This section is

followed by the species entries for 44 genera, ranging

from Acianthera to Grandiphyllum.

In volume 2: This volume continues from Volume 1 with species

entries for 78 genera, ranging from Haraella to Zygostates (see the

contents tab). The species entries are followed by four appendices,

which include an extensive list of miniature orchid species not

specifically included within this work; a list of small growing orchids

that do not meet the stipulated criteria of a miniature orchid, but

which are highly prized for their fine blooms or growths; a

geographical list of reputable orchid nurseries; and a list of

suppliers of orchid books, cultivation equipment and other sundry

items. The appendices are followed by a Glossary of terms, a

comprehensive Bibliography, and an Index of Plants addressed in

both Volumes 1 and 2. This index is fully cross-referenced for

accepted, synonymous and invalid orchid names, making it an

invaluable reference in itself.

Dionaea – Venus’ Flytrap Unsigned R690.00 / Signed R730.00

by Tim Bailey and Stewart McPherson

ISBN: 978-1-908787-10-1

Pages: 448

Images: 370



Dionaea, better known as the Venus’s Flytrap, is the most famous carnivorous plant and according to

Charles Darwin, “one of the most wonderful plants in the world”. No species better represents the paradox

of plants that eat animals than Dionaea, with its strange, highly modified leaves that resemble the jaws of

a savage beast that snap shut upon victims in less than one second. This long-awaited and visually beautiful

book presents the first complete monograph of all aspects of the botanical history, ecology, evolutionary

history, distribution and cultivation of this miraculous plant, and describes one hundred Dionaea cultivars

from across the world, many of which have never been documented before. Native to only a small part of

North and South Carolina, Dionaea is the most iconic plant of the United States and all of the Americas, yet

it often remains misunderstood.

Dionaea The Venus’s Flytrap opens with a detailed overview of the carnivorous plants of the world, then

introduces the genus Dionaea and examines its distribution, discovery and botanical history, plant

structure and trapping process, evolution, habitats and ecology, traditional uses, associated life and

cultivation requirements. An extensive and pioneering overview of the conservation status of Dionaea

authored by experts Robert Evans, Thomas Gibson and Yari Johnson is then presented.

The next chapter is authored by experts Mathias Maier, Matt Miller, David Marwinski and Brad Richard and

documents one hundred cultivars over 190 pages. These include formally registered, officially recognised

cultivars (denoted with single apostrophes), and others that have not yet been registered but are popular

and well known among horticulturists in many countries (denoted with double apostrophes), see list

below. Each cultivar is described in detail, and depicted through beautiful photographs.

The book concludes with recommended nurseries and suppliers of Dionaea plants, an appendix (which

includes biographic memoirs of key characters involved in the discovery of Dionaea), a glossary,

bibliography, index and an about the author chapter.

Glistening Carnivores Unsigned R730.00 / Signed R765.00


ISBN: 978-0-9558918-1-6

Pages: 392

Images: 279

The seven genera of sticky-leaved insect-eating plants are uniquely

beautiful and captivate the interest of all who behold them. Each

produces shimmering leaves lined with glistening droplets of glue that

attract, trap and kill insects and other small animals. Complimented by

279 spectacular images, this work examines all seven genera of sticky-

leaved insect-eating plants (Byblis, Drosera, Drosophyllum, Ibicella,

Pinguicula, Roridula and Triphyophyllum) and documents their wild

ecology and natural diversity in full detail and in many cases, for the

very first time.

The first chapter of Glistening Carnivores focuses on the research of Charles Darwin and the implications of

his findings relating to the carnivorous plants of the world. The next chapter, entitled The Sticky-Leaved

Insect-Eating Plants, identifies all of the known sticky-leaved insect-eating plants and discusses their

classification. The following chapters entitled The Evolution of the Sticky-Leaved Insect-Eating Plantsand

Mutualistic Arthropods respectively handle the evolution of the seven genera and the known relationships

with arthropod partners involving these plants.

Each of the following seven chapters then individually focus on one genus of sticky-leaved insect-eating

plants. Each genus is considered in terms of its taxonomy, botanical history, morphology and ecology. In

the following chapter, entitled Habitat Loss and the Threat of Extinction, the book then moves to consider

the conservational status and future outlook for these remarkable plants and examines their place in the

21st century in the context of changing landscapes across the world. The final chapter, entitled Cultivation

and Horticulture considers the cultivation of the sticky-leaved insect-eating plants with recommendations

of responsible and ethical nurseries where the reader may acquire responsibly and legally produced sticky-

leaved insect-eating plants to grow and study at home.

Glistening Carnivores is the first and only study of the sticky-leaved insect-eating plants and represents an

unparallel source of information on the subject. The strengths of this book undoubtedly include (1) its

uniquely detailed content; (2) the 279 spectacular figures including breath taking images and useful

distribution maps and (3) the very first published images of dozens of species of sticky-leaved insect-eating

plants.

Glistening Carnivores is up-to-date, uniquely detailed, focused, and visually beautiful. It is technically

written yet is accessible to specialist and non-specialist audiences and will be a valued source of

information for all interested in the sticky-leaved insect-eating plants and carnivorous plants in general!

Lost Worlds of the Guiana Highlands Unsigned R730.00 / Signed R765.00


ISBN: 978-0-9558918-0-9

Pages: 388

Images: 248

The tablelands of the Guiana Highlands are among the most spectacular

yet least explored mountains of our world. Each is an immense

sandstone plateau known locally as a ‘tepui’ that is encircled on all sides

by gigantic vertical cliffs up to 1,000 metres tall. The summits of these

unique mountains have remained isolated for millions of years, and

today harbour plants, animals and landscapes that occur nowhere else

on Earth. This work examines the story of the discovery and exploration

of these remarkable mountains and considers the unique plants, animals

and landscapes atop of these mysterious lost worlds.

The introductory chapters of Lost Worlds outline the remarkable

processes that led to the formation of the tepuis of the Guiana Highlands. The following chapter, The

Discovery and Exploration of the Guiana Highlands, first reviews the Amerindian presence around, and

perceptions of, the tepuis prior to the arrival of Europeans, and then moves to the discovery and

description of these tablelands by Europeans from the 16th Century to the exploration of Mount Roraima

early in the 20th Century.

The next chapter, Some Strange Country of Nightmares provides an overview of the remarkable physical

landscape of the summits of the tepuis with a focus on some of the most surprising geological features that

are found on the plateau tops and in the nearby lowlands.

The following chapter, Islands Above the Clouds, examines the unique evolutionary and ecological

processes that have shaped and now give character to the biological landscapes of the tepui summits. The

next chapter, Life Above the Clouds, looks at the remarkable diversity of organisms found on the summits

of the tepuis and the diverse ways in which plants and animals have adapted to the demanding

environmental conditions that occur in these highland environments. The final chapter, As a New Century

Begins, reviews the current conservation and management issues relating to the future of Guiana.

Lost worlds is the first and only comprehensive study of the remarkable natural history of the tepuis of the

Guiana Highlands. The strengths of this book include (1) its uniquely detailed content; (2) the 248

spectacular figures including breath taking images, maps, historical illustrations and photo (3) the very first

published images of several species of tepui dwelling plants and animals in their natural habitats.

Lost Worlds is up-to-date, comprehensive, focused, well illustrated, and visually beautiful. It is

technically written yet is accessible to specialist and non-specialist audiencesand will be a valued source

of information for all interested in the natural history of the remarkable tablelands of the Guiana!

Monograph of the Genus Genlisea Unsigned R730.00 / Signed R765.00

by Andreas Fleischmann

ISBN: 978-1-908787-00-2

Pages: 728

Images: 614



This work is the first complete monograph of all twenty nine species of

Genlisea – the least understood of all carnivorous plants. Also known as

corkscrew plants, Genlisea produce complicated, elegant, underground

leaves that act as deadly traps to capture and kill micro-organisms. Four

years in the making, this pioneering and definitive study examines all

aspects of the biology, taxonomy, ecology and diversity of all Genlisea

species for the very first time. Included in this monograph are many obscure

species that have never been photographed or documented before, and one new taxon that is described

and introduced in this work for the first time.

Monograph of the Genus Genlisea opens with a detailed overview of the carnivorous plants of the world,

then examines the discovery and natural history of the genus Genlisea. Subsequent chapters then

respectively document the vegetative morphology, Genlisea trap, generative morphology, ecology and

habitats, distribution, and the phylogeny and evolution of the genus. The next chapter covers the

taxonomy of the 29 recognised Genlisea species over four hundred pages. Each taxon is described in terms

of leaf, trap and inflorescence morphology, distribution, habitat and herbarium material and is depicted

lavishly through numerous photographs.

An extensive chapter documenting the cultivation of Genlisea plants is then included, along with an

appendix, glossary, bibliography, index and an about the author chapter.
