Anacamptis coriophora explained

Anacamptis coriophora, the bug orchid, is a species of orchid, found in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East to Iran.[1]

Taxonomy

Originally this was identified as Orchis coriophora subsp. fragans (Pollini) K.Richt. and even today some authorities like Delforge use the original name to present it as the new species Orchis fragrans Pollini. However the large databases at Kew, World Ckecklist etc. agree that the correct and accepted name for this taxon is Anacamptis coriophora (L.) R.M.Bateman, Pridgeon & M.W.Chase without any distinction being made between subspecies.
