Field Guide to the Orchids of Europe and the Mediterranean Second edition is a comprehensive photographic guide to the orchids of the region written by leading experts, who between them have decades of orchid field and research experience. The book covers orchids from Europe and the Mediterranean, extending to Turkey and the immediate near east of North Africa and Macaronesia. Many guides to orchids of this region exist, but in this completely revised second edition, the authors have drawn on the latest scientific research to bring clarity to orchid identification and names, with an emphasis on the natural variability that exists in many wild species.

With over 2000 colour photographs, and new images in the second edition, the book provides the reader with an accessible and easy to use identification guide to the natural variability seen in these orchids. The book covers 32 genera and their species.
