Great reference Angraecoid Orchids, Species of the African Region by Joyce Stewart, Johan Hermans, and Bob Campbell. I paid about $70 for my copy. Don't recall where I got it from. Published Timber Press. It's my "go-to" for Angaecoid info.

This is a great set of books for anyone trulyt interested in Masdevallias. There are line drawings (no colored pictures of every species. It is part of a larger set (now about 30 volumes) on the Pleurothallids. They are available from Missouri Botanical Gardens having been coming out one or two a year and are quite expensive. Wouldn't be without them ( I have the whole set).

Hi Ronald. I actually ordered these from the MBGPress. And the only reason I did not order the entire Pleuro set was because I would go broke and my fiancee would abondon me. But for now, I really want to learn everything about the taxonomy and systematics of Masdevallia

Another wonderful set is Thesaurus Masdevalliarum/Treasure of Masdevallia by Luer. It has colored drawing of every Masdevallia! You'd probably have to sell your fiancee to buy it though.
