Flora Malesiana CD-ROM: Leguminosae – Caesalpinioideae of South East Asia
Author(s): J.W.A. Ridder-Numan & I. de Kort (eds.)
Version: 1.0
The Leguminosae are one of the most important plant families: many species are used as food, green manure or timber. This CD-ROM holds a detailed information system covering all 247 species of the Caesalpiniodeae, native and cultivated, in the Flora Malesiana region. Based on Flora Malesiana Vol. 12.2 by Ding Hou, K.Larsen and S.S.Larsen, this work is much extended with over 1000 illustrations, full descriptions, information on uses, habitat, ecology, and distribution for each taxon (including the Mimosoideae genera). Identification is facilitated by two types of computer assisted keys: a dichotomous key to all caesalpinioid species (and the mimosoid genera) and several multi-access keys: one to the genera and species of the Caesalpinioideae, and five to the species in each of the larger groups. An innovative diagnostic system allows complex searches on distribution, uses and habitat. An interactive geographic information system presents distribution data and supports geographic comparisons. A literature database with ca. 200 references and a hyperlinked illustrated glossary to more than 750 botanical terms are part of the system. This CD-ROM is a a taxonomic reference work that belongs in every scientific library on plants in SE Asia. €43.95
Flora Malesiana CD-ROM: Leguminosae – Mimosoideae of South-East Asia
Author(s): J.W.A. Ridder-Numan & I. de Kort (eds.)
Version: 1.0
The Leguminosae are one of the most important plant families: many species are used as food, green manure or timber. This CD-ROM holds a detailed information system covering all 212 species of the Mimosoideae, native and cultivated, in the Flora Malesiana region. Based on Flora Malesiana Vol. 11.1 by I.C. Nielsen, this work is much extended with over 1600 unique illustrations, full descriptions, information on uses, habitat, ecology, and distribution for each taxon (including the Caesalpinioideae genera). Identification is facilitated by three types of computer assisted keys: a dichotomous key to all mimosoid species (and the caesalpinioid genera), and a pictorial key plus a multi-access key to mimosoids. An innovative diagnostic system allows complex searches on distribution, uses and habitat. An interactive geographic information system presents distribution data and supports geographic comparisons. A literature database with 216 references and a hyperlinked illustrated glossary to more than 750 botanical terms are part of the system. This CD-ROM is a taxonomic reference work that belongs in every scientific library on plants in SE Asia. € 35.50
Flora Malesiana CD-ROM: Orchids of New Guinea Vol. I – Illustrated Checklist and Genera
Author(s): A. Schuiteman, E.F. de Vogel
Version: 1.0
The orchid flora of New Guinea is one of the richest in the world, with some 2500 species in about 130 genera. This CD-ROM presents the first comprehensive overview of all the genera currently known to occur in New Guinea, supplemented with a checklist of all the species. It contains descriptions of the genera and selected species, keys for identification, and a hyperlinked glossary. For each genus and species the full synonymy is given. The nicest feature of this CD-ROM is the large number of illustrations, ranging from manuscript drawings and old plates to digitised color slides, many depicting rare species, most never published before. This CD-ROM was compiled at the Leiden Branch of the National Herbarium of the Netherlands, formerly known as the Rijksherbarium. Other leading botanical institutes, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, as well as several excellent photographers have contributed to this CD-ROM, which should be in the collection of every professional and amateur who is interested in the orchids of Southeast Asia and the Pacific in general, and those of New Guinea in particular. € 59.00
Flora Malesiana CD-ROM: Orchids of New Guinea Vol. II – Dendrobium and allied genera
Author(s): A. Schuiteman, E.F. de Vogel
Version: 1.0
Dendrobium is horticulturally the most significant orchid genus of New Guinea. Together with the three closely related genera Cadetia, Diplocaulobium, and Flickingeria it is the subject of this CD-ROM, which was written and compiled by Mr. Andr?? Schuiteman and Dr. Ed de Vogel of the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Leiden branch (formerly known as the Rijksherbarium), in co-operation with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. This CD-ROM contains about 3000 images, 29 generic and sectional descriptions, a database covering some 560 species, tools for identification, a hyperlinked, richly illustrated glossary with over 550 terms, notes on cultivation, and much more; in short: the largest collection of data on New Guinea Dendrobiinae ever assembled. It is the second volume in a planned series, which will eventually cover all the orchid genera and species of New Guinea, and, ultimately, all Southeast Asia. Treating one of the most attractive of all orchid groups, with superb pictures supplied by dozens of first rate photographers, this CD-ROM should be in the collection of every amateur interested in these plants. It is also a must for professionals who deal with conservation, cultivation, taxonomy, etc., of Southeast Asian orchids. € 59.00

Not treated here are the genera Dendrobium and Bulbophyllum with their allies, as these are the subjects of separate volumes in this series (vol. II and VI respectively). For every species a full description is given, with data on distribution (including maps), synonymy, cultivation, ecology, typification, classification, etc. An impressive collection of color photographs and drawings, both published and unpublished, adds to the exceptional value of this CD-ROM. Several leading botanical institutes, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, the Herbarium Bogoriense, Bogor, and the National Capital Botanic Garden, Port Moresby, as well as many well-known photographers have contributed to this CD-ROM, which is a must for all who are interested in the orchids of New Guinea and Southeast Asia. € 59.00
