Orchids of the South-West

The south-west of Western Australia has more than 350 terrestrial orchid species. These are found in diverse heaths, sandplains, seasonally wet swamplands, river courses, tall forests, arid and semi-arid deserts, rocky outcrops and mountain peaks. The area covered is between Kalbarri, Augusta and Esperance, but many of the orchids pictured in the book can be found during a day trip from Perth.

This pocket-sized book covers a selection of the most common orchids you might encounter when travelling through the southwest, along with a few rarer species you can find through careful searching.
