THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST EDITH COLEMAN by Danielle Clode This is the previously unwritten story of naturalist Edith Coleman. Edith, who lived in Blackburn, Victoria, was the first person to identify and describe, in 1927, the pollination of an orchid by pseudocopulation after careful observations for two seasons of the tongue orchid leptochila and the strange activities of the ichneumon wasps on its labellum. This paper was written by a woman without formal scientific training, was quoted around the world and finally acknowledged as being an accurate observation and conclusion. Pollination by pseudocopulation was subsequently confirmed in many orchids, especially in Australia. Edith's extensive work was later acknowledged with the Australian Natural History Medallion in 1949, the first woman to receive this honour. Hardcover 420 pages. Retail price $39.99.

A GUIDE TO NATIVE ORCHIDS OF SOUTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA (Second edition revised and expanded) by Bob Liddelow2015. Be warned! If you purchase this book you may become as addicted to finding and photographing native orchids as much as its author. Bob Liddelow has spent many hours in the field each season, seeking different orchids. Blind 'bush bashing' of likely spots rarely produces exciting finds, but given a lead by someone, the chances are greatly enhanced. That's why this book has been written. This is an Orchid Guide with a difference. Instead of covering all species with total distribution areas, this book treats a very representative collection of orchids in great detail. The specific sites for each orchid are illustrated with 'mud maps'. The book also cross-references some 239 orchids with about 200 sites in the greater south-west of Western Australia. Every orchid is illustrated fully in colour. There are also comprehensive Indexes, a Glossary, Author's Notes and more. Approximately 289 colour photographs.
