| Ophrys sabulosa PAULUS & GACK ex P.DELFORGE |
| Fam.: Orchidaceae / Orchid Family |
| Genus: Ophrys L. |
In Jber.naturwiss.Ver.Wuppertal 43 (1990): 134 H. F. Paulus and C. Gack wrote
about a wide spread Ophrys fusca s.l. with relative big lip, which is
late in flower, i.e. usually not before april, and which they considered to be a Sicilian endemism.
Unfortunately no photo of the taxon was published.
Since then it was called by the provisional name 'sabulosa-fusca', which came from
the pollinator, the solitary bee Andrena trimmerana (formerly A. sabulosa sensu Warncke).
2004 in Natural.belges 85 (Orchid. 17): 110-124 P. Delforge wrote a formal description
of an Ophrys sabulosa, of which he thought it were Paulus' sabulosa-fusca.
In 2020 in J.Eur.Orch. 52 (2-4): 355ff H. F. Paulus wrote that it was not his sabulosa-fusca,
but that in reality Delforge's Ophrys gackiae also described in 2004 is Paulus' sabulosa-fusca.
Ophrys gackiae is not shown here but there.
