Subject: Plant Identification, Rare and Endangered Comments: From Books in Print: Arizona and New Mexico are a floral crossroads--most of the native orchids in the area are at the limits of overlapping ranges. Ronald Coleman discusses all of the wild species of orchid to be found in or known to have been native to Arizona and New Mexico. The study maps current and historical distribution and covers conservation issues and threats to each species. Coleman (U. of Arizona) discusses all 35 species of wild orchids currently found in or historically occurring in Arizona and New Mexico. Each species is discussed in terms of flowering season, habitat, elevation range, companion plants, current and historical distribution, and conservation issues. Genus and species keys are included. Each species is illustrated with a line drawing and multiple color photographs all located in the front of the volume. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
