Ophrys forestieri, which since 1994 had been called by the today synonym Ophrys lupercalis P.DEVILLERS & J.DEVILLERS-TERSCHUREN,
is the early fusca s.l. with big lip, growing in most parts of the Mediterranean and pollinated by Andrena nigroaenea.
It is not identical with the later flowering Ophrys fusca,
which LINK described near Lisbon in 1800.
