This page is dedicated to the memory of my friend Manfred Fendler (Heidelberg), who shared my interest for orchids and other plants for 20 years. This was the last species, which he could show me, when the photos from near Mosbach came into being. In July 2007 he died of cancer at the larynx, only 53 years old.
