In 1999 in Natural. belges 80 (Orchid. 12): 179-229, 276 Pierre Delforge had assigned the old name Ophrys forestieri to the species with the smallest flowers of the Ophrys fusca complex in France. After extensive studies of herbariums Devillers and Devillers-Terschuren revised this in 2006 in Natural. belges 87 (Orchid. 19): 36-62, and recombined the species to the new name Ophrys delforgei. The name Ophrys forestieri turned out as the name of the early flowering species with bigger lip, which grows in big parts of the Mediterranean, is pollinated by Andrena nigroaenea, and since 1994 had been called Ophrys lupercalis. |
