Ophrys sitiaca PAULUS, C.ALIBERTIS & A.ALIBERTIS |
| ||
| Fam.: Orchidaceae / Orchid Family |
| Genus: Ophrys L. |
| Authors: | |||
| Hannes Franz Paulus (1943 - ), German biologist | |||
| Chryssoula Alibertis (fl. 1989), wife of Antonis Alibertis | |||
| Antonis Alibertis (1943 - ), orchid specialist from Crete/Greece | |||
| Carl von Linné (Linnaeus, 1707 - 1777), Swedish naturalist who introduced the binary naming system for plants and animals | |||
| Etymology: | |||
| Ophrys: | Greek plant name, from ophrys = eyebrow | ||
| sitiaca: | from Sitia (Crete) | ||
While I only found a small range of variation in the blossom size of Ophrys sitiaca in Crete, I met in the south of Rhodos variations from strong plants with over-broad blossoms to tiny plants with very small blossoms with lip lengths of only about 9 mm (the three last photos). |
