Description
Madagascar is home to an estimated 14,000 vascular plant species, which are the bedrock upon which all other life in Madagascar rests. Some are not only unique to the island, but to a 1,500-hectare patch of dense evergreen forest known as Ankarabolava-Agnakatrika. Due to the incredible 88 million years that Madagascar has been geologically isolated, this forest bustles with rare vegetation and spectacular and unique botanical life.
Of this there are estimated 738 orchid species in 57 genera. This book covers all 738.
