Ophrys linearis (MOGGR.) P.DELFORGE, DEVILLERS & DEVILLERS-TERSCH.

Fam.: Orchidaceae / Orchid Family

Synon.: Ophrys pseudoscolopax (MOGGR.) PAULUS & GACK

Genus: Ophrys L.

Ophrys linearis (MOGGR. 1869) P.DELFORGE, DEVILLERS & DEVILLERS-TERSCH. (2000), also called Ophrys pseudoscolopax (MOGGR. 1869) PAULUS & GACK (1999), is the small early holoserica with sharp petals from sites near the coast of the Provence and most probably of the most North-Western part of neighboring Italy.
In his book 'Les Orchidées sauvages de France' (2004) assigned Remy Souche also the small flowered Ophrys holoserica subsp. lorenae, which has been described from Emilia Romagna in Italy, to Ophrys linearis, but I can't follow this apprehension.
