Ophrys holosericea
Ophrys holosericea (Orchidaceae) 120 23
Ophrys holosericea (the late spider orchid) is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to western and central Europe and the Mediterranean region.
This species can be extremely difficult to identify with certainty due to the large number of new and similar species that have been (and continue to be) recognised. The situation is often further complicated by hybridisation and introgression, which often creates populations that mimic pure unrelated species, often very convincingly.
