- catalog abstract ""Catasetums never fail to provoke delight and admiration when displayed on the show table, and they are unquestionably some of the most interesting plants in the orchid family. Their typical method of pollination by shooting missiles (pollinaria) onto the backs of unsuspecting insects is an intriguing curiosity. Conventional orchid care can often prove deadly to catasetums, yet they can be among the easiest to grow if the enthusiast follows a few basic rules. Holst provides these rules, and a great deal more, in this first ever horticultural monograph of these orchids. Offering a complete picture of the genus's unique biology and history, special detail is given to the 68 species the author has grown or knows intimately."--Jacket.".
