A copy of the book – Orchids of the Maltese Islands – has been presented to Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri by the author Stephen Mifsud.

The book is A Descriptive Guide – specialising in Gozo’s population of Orchids, with stunning photography that walks the reader through the different species of Orchids that exist (or used to exist) in Malta, with information on their status, and descriptions of the form, habitat, distribution, and conservation status of every species.

Mifsud is a botanist and orchid expert, who works at Eco-Gozo within the Ministry for Gozo.

This book was part-financed by Eco-Gozo “in order to convey the knowledge and beauty of the Maltese flora to the public and thus enhance the appreciation and protection of plants,” the Minister said.
