    I have it. It's a beautiful book! It seems very thorough, although I haven't spent any major time with it for research purposes. I've read all the text, but haven't devoured the encyclopedia part, yet. I'm happy with the purchase, though, especially since I got it for 30% off at my local botanical garden bookstore!

    I like it. It doesn't have a lot of species covered in each genus, but it covers a lot of genera. Photos are pretty decent and useful for an ID.

    I must have Chloraea magellanica. Anybody know where I can get one?

    I just got this book today. For $35, it is a damn good book. Thank you, Dale and Alexis.

    I have it too. Pretty decent book that covers many genera. I think i got a nice discount from Amazon by pre-ordering it months before it came out.
