Media Reviews
Masdevallias is a rich and rewarding literary meal, delightful in taste and graced with good nutrition ... Do not let this jewel go unnoticed.
The experienced and knowledgeable coauthors (both are independent scholars) have provided the first comprehensive book on this genus of Central and South American orchids.
Mary Gerritsen and Ron Parsons give this beautiful genus its well-deserved moment in the sun.
This book could easily serve as a coffee table book to 'wow' friends.
A jewel: an important contribution to orchid literature and an invaluable guide to anyone interested in the genus. To have all of this material in one volume is a treasure. I enthusiastically recommend it.
The first complete reference of Masdevallia orchids ever published.
