Dinesh Fernando asked : "Are there any published books on Sri Lankan orchids"
A book titled "Orchids of Sri Lanka A Conservationists Companion. A Simplified Guide to Identification. Volume 1. The protected orchids and selected similar species." by Malik Fernando, Siril Wijesundera and Suranjan Fernando was published by IUCN Sri Lanka, December 2003. Unfortunately, most copies of the book have been distributed to agencies involved in law enforcement. You may wish to contact the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) and refer to one of its copies at its library in Colombo. source : http://www.jetwingeco.com/web_pages/news_board/news_2004_04-05_April-May.html see also : http://www.iucn.org/places/srilanka/LibraryRecentPublicationsIUCNSLN.htm#Orchids and http://www.ianparsons.creators.co.uk/OSG/NewsEv.html ********* Regards, Viateur _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
