Hi everyone,
I am looking for Cattleya and Phalaenopsis and I would be really glad If somebody can help me in which volume of genera orchidacearum (oxford press) to look ?

Thanks

No idea.
I usually just go through the sites of various vendors until I find orchids I like or, if looking for a certain orchid, I Google the name or, again, look for it on the vendors' sites. If you want to know more about Cattleyas, you can try Chadwick and Sons website as they really do a nice job on describing the various species. IOSPE is another great resource to learn about various species orchids.
Again, I am sorry I do not have the answer to your question but I am sure someone else will. Good luck!

Here are a couple links that you might be interested in. Leafmite has some good advice, just google or look though Ebay. Then research.

Cattleya is in subfamily Epidendroideae, Tribe Epidendreae, so it should be in Volume 4. You can see the Table of Contents here (you can click the TOC tab on the left side):

But it appears that Volume 5 has addendum to Volume 4 (Nomenclatural changes in Laeliinae).

Phalaenopsis is in Subfamily Epidendroideae, Tribe Vandeae, Subtribe Aeridinae, so it is in Volume 6

The books are in print, so can be purchased. Alternatively, there are libraries, and if your local library does not have it, then there is interlibrary loan.

Another question is, what info do you seek in there? If you just want classification, look at the Kew monocot checklist on-line. The GO is put out mainly by Kew as is the website, so the two should match, with the website being more current.

Hi,
It is on my schools collection so wanted to see and read it for general purposes out of curiousity.
