CCC1010 [Ophrys fusca ssp. laureotica]
I
posted the above photo on Dec. 22, 2010 under the tentative name of
“Proimi (?)” because the plant had not been officially identified till
then. Today, I feel the need to repost it with its corrected name
because the plant has just been officially recognized as “Ophrys fusca
ssp. laureotica” [See: Journal Europรคischer
Orchideen 43(2): 2011 pp. 367-377]. Eventually, Erotokritos
Kalogeropoulos’ work of observation and study of the plant was
successful and fully justified. The plant that he spotted for the first
time near Lavrio back in 2009 was indeed a new subspecies of the
Orchidaceae family as he had immediately suspected then!
Congratulations to Ero
and his associates Pinelopi Delipetrou and Antonis Alibertis
