Title: ICONES ORCHIDACEARUM PERUVIARUM. (Plates 401-600). Two Volume Set.
Author: Bennett, David E., Jr. and Eric A. Chrstenson, Ph.D.
Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: Privately published by A. Pastorelli de Bennett, 1995. Two Volume Set. Paperbound (stiff gold wrappers), Plates 401 through 501, Plates 502 through 600 + Supplemental Plates. New, from author’s private collection. Bennett and Christenson began the ambitious undertaking of a modern inventory of Peru’s orchids, which they estimate to comprise at least 3,000 species, just after the Missouri Botanical Garden published its Catalogo de las Angiospermas y Gimnospermas del Peru, which lists just 1,600 species of orchids for the country. Their work has resulted in the open-ended series Icones, or illustrations, documenting Peru’s rich natural heritage of orchids. To date they have published 800 illustrations, including more than 150 new distribution records and more than 100 new species from Peru. The Icones is issued as loose-leaf pages for intercalation according to the user’s preference or as two paper-bound fascicles with a perfect binding. One side of each page is occupied by a full-page botanical line drawing. The other side of each page includes the place of publication, synonymy, a detailed description, known distribution, voucer specimens, observations on identification, comments on taxonomic questions, habitat, and flowering season.
