This book is written primarily for the amateur enthusiast and field naturalist who would like to identify their “find” easily and with the least amount of detective work (that is sometimes the way of more professional books written about orchids). Mr. Munden has kept botanical terms to a minimum and has taken pains to exclude various confusing terms, including authorities for species binomials. This book is for the non-professional who wants to know more about the Native Orchids of Nova Scotia.

Dozens of colour photographs, maps and indexes.
