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.

kingdom. Not only arthropods are caught in its deadly jaws, but even small
vertebrates including tadpoles and fish fry.
Representing over four years of study and research, this long-awaited work presents a pioneering and
uniquely detailed treatment of all aspects of the botanical history, ecology, evolutionary history,
distribution and cultivation of this novel plant. The text also addresses the pressing need for integrated
conservation and management initiatives.
Among the many highlights of this work are:
- Spectacular imagery of Aldrovanda, including scanning electron microscopy, histological sections, and
many previously unpublished photos of the plant throughout its worldwide habitat
- The formal description of a new infraspecific taxon of Aldrovanda.
- The most definitive guide to cultivating this unique species ever published
- The inclusion of new and previously unpublished data relating to key aspects of the plant’s reproduction,
dispersal and ecology

Australian Carnivorous Plants is a beautifully
produced coffee table book with extensive
colour photographs of all carnivorous plant
genera found in Australia (Aldrovanda, Byblis,
Cephalotus, Drosera, Nepenthes and Utricularia).
Incorporating 180 images of over 150 species
taken over the past two decades by acclaimed
wildlife photographers and carnivorous plant
experts, Greg Bourke and Richard Nunn, this visually striking book is the first work dedicated to highlighting
the beauty of Australian carnivorous plants in the wild through high quality photographs.
The selection of breathtaking images featured in this lavishly illustrated work was carefully chosen to
highlight the extraordinary diversity of carnivorous plants found in Australia, an assemblage that is greater
than on all other continents on Earth. The spectacular images and detailed captions, written in accessible
English, offer a uniquely informative portrait of some of the Southern Hemisphere’s most extraordinary
and beautiful plants. It is a work that will fascinate amateur nature enthusiasts and specialist botanists
alike.
This beautiful book includes a foreword by Allen Lowrie, a world authority on carnivorous plants; a short
introductory chapter to the carnivorous plants of the world with a summary and complete listing of all
carnivorous plant species found in Australia; chapters dedicated to each genus of Australian carnivorous
plant with introductory descriptions; a chapter on conservation; and information relating to the
photographic techniques used by the authors. Many of the taxa covered here have never been depicted in
print before.
Particular highlights include:
1. The first complete listing of all currently known carnivorous plants of Australia.
2. Many rare, little known and seldom photographed taxa, including Byblis aquatica, B. rorida, Drosera
browniana, D. bulbosa subsp. major, D. gibsonii, D. nivea, D. oreopodion, D. radicans, D. zigzagia,

This spectacular two volume work examines the wild ecology, diversity
and natural history of all carnivorous plant genera for the first time.
Written in clear yet substantive language, this visually beautiful study reveals carnivorous plants in greater
detail than ever before, and offers horticulturists specific information to achieve greater levels of success
in cultivation.
Carnivorous Plants and their Habitats comprises 1,441 pages and includes 799 beautiful images. Six years
in the making, this work profiles the distribution, botanical history, morphology, diversity, ecology,
traditional uses, associated life, cultivation requirements and conservation status of all recognised
carnivorous plant genera of the world.
The newly discovered genus Philcoxia is covered in unique detail and for the very first time. Preliminary
findings suggest the highly specialised, glandular structures of the foliage of Philcoxia are carnivorous
adaptations, and indeed microscopic animal prey is readily caught and killed.

Cover: Hard with Dust Jacket
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
by Stewart McPherson
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!

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!

Pages: 728
Images: 614
Page Size: 152.5 x 228.5 mm
Cover: Hard with Dust Jacket
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.

Pitcher plants include the largest and most spectacular of all carnivorous
plants. So-called because they produce highly specialised foliage that
takes the form of hollow, water-filled “pitchers”, these extraordinary
plants lure and prey upon arthropods and other small animals. The
pitcher plants of the Old World also trap the largest prey of all
carnivorous plants, including on rare occasions, vertebrates as large as
frogs, mice and even rats. This two volume work examines both genera
of Old World pitcher plants (Nepenthes and Cephalotus) and documents
the ecology and natural diversity of every known species for the first time and in unparalleled detail...
Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume One consists of the following chapters; Introduction, Carnivorous
Plants of the World, The Pitcher Plants of the Old World, The Evolution of the Pitcher Plants of the Old
