Ophrys apifera var. trollii Gloucestershire.

From Harrap: Orchids of Britain and Ireland. (One of the best UK Orchid books)

Var. trollii ‘Wasp Orchid’ has a long narrow

central lobe to the lip that tapers to a point. The

side-lobes are often longer and narrower than

normal, being held away from the central lobe.

The lip is marbled asymmetrically with yellow

and rusty-brown and the speculum is either

distorted or absent. It occurs regularly at a few

sites in the West Country but is otherwise rare.

The tip of the lip in ‘normal’ plants sometimes

fails to fold under and they then have an

elongated, pointed lip but retain the normal

markings. For a time, ‘Wasp Orchid’ was

considered to be a distinct species.
