Perfect praetermissa !
This southern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa) in a dune slack at Kenfig, South Wales, shows all the hallmarks of the species: flowers, pinkish rather than purple, spotted rather than streaked; labellum slightly dished, middle projection small and rounded rather than prominent and triangular as in the confusion species Dactylorhiza fuchsii (common spotted orchid).
