Orchis collina (Anacamptis collina)

[orchis pallens]

Perfekt, Stanislav

Very beautiful flowering, Stanislav!

Does anyone know, in how far Orchis collina is related to O. spitzelii? They look quite similar in my opinion...

[orchis pallens]

Hautzinger hat in den 70ern Orchis collina, spitzelii, patens, prisca und andere in der Sektion Robustocalcare eingeteilt, er war der Meinung, dass diese miteinander verwandt sind.

Heute sieht man das allerdings anders

Hello Viktor,
see my post https://www.orchideenkultur.net/index.php?topic=3262.msg514655#msg514655.
Anacamptis collina is distantly related to the genus Orchis, although it resembles some species of this genus.

Danke für das Wiederholen ihr beiden, irgendwie hatte der Thread bei mir heute nicht vollständig geladen 

A. collina is quite fraudulant. Appearance of Orchis but genetically Anacamptis, a false friend so to say...
