Orchid Digest issue Volume 72-4 contains a segment titled The Genus Dracula... It includes the history and culture of the genus Dracula and includes some species. There are some great pictures. The issue also contains articles on Masdevallias and an article on orchid collecting in Ecuador. It is $ 20.00

Masdevallia, Dracula (Vol. 72-4)

The Orchid Digest Publication

I also just found that Orchid Digest has a special publication titled An Annotated Checklist on the Genus Dracula written by Johan and Clare Hermans for $ 8.00

Welcome to the addiction!!

If you're really serious about Dracula species, its hard to beat Icones Pleurothallidinarum X: Systematics of Dracula (Luer). This book is out of print however and is VERY technical as it is a scientific publication. It is NOT an easy read and definitely wasn't written with the average hobbyist in mind! With all that said, if anyone has an extra copies of out of print Icones books, I'm very interested in buying
