BOOK REVIEW 
The Orchids of New South Wales by II. M. R. Rupp. 
In this book, published as part of the Flora of New South 
Wales, Mr. Rupp has given an excellent account of the 
orchids occurring in New South Wales. The introductory 
remarks, excellent illustrations and glossary help to smooth 
the way for the non-specialist, while the arrangement of 
the text leads to clarity and ease of use. There is no doubt 
that the book is a very valuable addition to Australian 
botanical literature and of great service to all who have 
or will have any acquaintance with Australian orchids. 
Its scope is by no means restricted to New South Wales 
and it has been successfully used in the study of orchids 
in Southern Queensland.
