Charles [Bracker] asked :
"total number of orchid species that grow wild in the 50 states of the USA?"
In the foreword to Luer's book,
"The Native Orchids of the United States and Canada excluding Florida"
Howard S. Irwin writes : "In the United States, north of Florida, more than 125 native species of orchids are found" (page 5)
In the preface, Luer writes : "one hundred and two [species] that occur in Florida" (page 8).
