The photographic approach allows to visualize the detailed anatomical structures of the reproductive organs and those involved in attracting the pollinator, as for example, the elaiophores when present; each photo presents detailed explanation of the emphasized structures.

The work includes a large texts collection about orchids introduction and technics involving anatomy, biochemistry, mineral, genetic and citogenetic nutrition. Further than these, there are a large glossary and a revised and extended Latin dictionary of botanical epithets.
