    About this ebook

    Paphiopedilum by Braem, Chiron, & Öhlund is the most complete monograph hitherto written about this exhilarating genus of slipper orchids. The extensive text is scientifically correct but written to be accessible to commercial and amateur orchid growers, professional botanists, and just anyone interested in orchids or in beautiful and fascinating flowering plants in general. The book is and completed by 390 illustrations.
    Starting with a short preamble and a detailed discussion, the book continues with a general section dealing with the basics of orchids and orchid taxonomy. Thereafter, the genus Paphiopedilum, representing the Asian tropical and subtropical slipper orchids is discussed. The infrageneric divisions of the genus are explained and each and every one of the 95 species of the genus is treated in detail. For each species there is a detailed description and information about its origin, distribution, and etymology. All species are illustrated whereby the great majority of pictures are photographs taken from plants in cultivation and in their natural habitat. Important varieties are also discussed. After the descriptive section, there is a block with identification keys to the various subgenera, sections, and subsections, and finally for each of these, there is a key leading to the species. The book is completed by a list of plant names, a bibliography and a list of illustrations.
    Based on the legendary books about the genus published by Prof Braem and his team in 1988, 1998/1999, and 2003, the present monograph is the best ever written on the subject, and will be the standards text for many years to come. The e-Book format was chosen to make the work available on as many systems as possible and allow for its use on modern portable media (tablets and smart-phones) as well as desktop and laptop computers.
