The Paphinia Book

Rudolf Jenny

In his comprehensive monography of the orchid genus Paphinia, Rudolf Jenny recognizes 15 species of Paphinia, plus one variety and one form. Thirteen other Paphinia names, both at the specific or varietal rank, are reduced under the synonymy of the 17 accepted taxa (including the subspecifc taxa). With over 25 chapters, the book includes sections on morphology (including general, sepals and petals, column, pollinaria and anther, lip, lip-callus and lip appendices), distribution, habitat as well as a species checklist. This general section is followed by chapters discussing the taxonomy of each of the 17 Paphinia species.
