Ophrys gackiae 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 P. Delforges Ophrys gackiae also described in 2004 is Paulus' sabulosa-fusca. Photos of Ophrys gackiae are shown below. |
