　　台灣島上蘭花品種豐富多樣，有許多品種是台灣特有的，也有許多品種鄰近其他國家也有。本書記錄描述迄2012年底台灣所有原生蘭花428種，並附照片插圖；內容涵蓋這些蘭花的發現史、島上蘭花的起源、基本形態學、各品種的詳細資訊，以及保育的議題。

 

　　書中收錄彩色圖片超過1,700 幅及數十張蘭花寫實油畫。透過本書，我們希望與所有蘭花愛好者及世界各地學者分享台灣蘭花豐富的多樣與美麗。

 

　　“An invaluable wealth of knowledge made even more inviting by stunning photographs and an equally attractive layout. A must-have addition for every orchid library!” -- Carri Raven-Riemann,American Orchid Society Accredited Judge

 

　　Taiwan is an island of sanctuary for a great diversity of orchids, not just the endemic species but many others found in neighboring countries. In this book the authors describe and illustrate all 428 native orchid taxa recorded up to the end of 2012. In addition they include notes on the history of their discoveries, origins of the Island’s orchids, basic morphology and other detailed information on each species, including conservation issues. Over 1,700 color photographs and dozens of realistic oil paintings are also included. Through this book we hope to share, with all orchid lovers and students around the world, the wonderful diversity and beauty of the orchid flora of Taiwan.
