📚✨ A book has to be a true beast to be called "The Librarian's Nightmare," and that's just what James Bateman’s 'The Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala' (1843) was known as. It's easily the largest book in our collection, a treasure from the #nybglibrary for #worldbookday.
Happy #BotanicMonday! There are approximately 28,000 species in the Orchidaceae family. Explore some of those found in Germany with J. Sturm's "Flora von Deutschland", Bd. 4 (1905) by Ernst H.L. Krause. Contributed in #BHLib by @Kew_LAA: https://t.co/yzwhVmGbHP #plantsci #orchids
