The south-west of Western Australia has more than 350 terrestrial orchid species. These are found in a diverse range of heaths, sandplains, seasonally wet swamplands and river courses to tall forests, arid and semi-arid deserts, rocky outcrops and mountain peaks.

The area covered is between Kalbarri, Augusta and Esperance, but many of the orchids pictured in the book can be found during a day trip from Perth.

This book covers a selection of some of the most common orchids you might encounter when travelling through the south-west, along with a few of the rarer species that you can find through careful searching.

Part of DEC's Bush Books series, a set of practical field guides to help you learn about and discover Western Australia's unique plants, animals and special features, region by region.
