Black Orchid was a book of his travels written by George Cranleigh. It was published in 1925. His mother, Madge Cranleigh, gave a copy to the Fifth Doctor as a going-away present (TV: Black Orchid), which he enjoyed and thought of as very interesting (AUDIO: Iterations of I; TV: Earthshock).
While holidaying in Ostend in 1913, the Sixth Doctor told his companion Peri Brown that his fifth incarnation "was fond of a Boy's Own adventure about an aristocrat who yomped through the Brazilian rainforests, depriving the natives of their orchids." (AUDIO: Year of the Pig)
