Any slipper orchid books forthcoming?

kentuckiense · Nov 23, 2010

Hey everyone! I noticed that it has been a while since any slipper orchid books have been published. The last one I remember is "Genus Paphiopedilum in China" two summers ago. I've heard a rumor that Cribb is writing a monograph on the tropical new world slipper orchids. He recently contributed a monograph of the genus Selenipedium to Curtis's Botanical Magazine (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-8748.2009.01632.x/abstract). It's already in the format he used for his Paph and Cyp books, and I figure it could be easily included in such a neotropical slipper orchids book (kind of like how he used "Slipper Orchids of Borneo" in "The Genus Paphiopedilum"). Anyone have any more info on that?

Also, there's this ghost listing that's been around for a couple years now: http://www.nhbs.com/title.php?tefno=92348

Any news?

Actually there are one or two. Someone on here posted a link to a really promising book recently. It's currently being written but I cannot remember by who. There is a website.......can anyone remember what it was?

Was it that expensive and self-published book I saw posted on here a while ago?
