Abstract
A conspicuous entity of the aggregate of Ophrys sphegodes s.l. growing on thenorthern slopes of the volcanic massif of Etna is known since more than 20years. Detailed studies show a singular combination of morphologicalcharacters, differentiating this population slightly from the type-species andother closely related taxa as O. exaltata subsp. exaltata and subsp.panormitana, O. arachnitiformis subsp. archipelagi (incl. O. mateolana,O. cilentana) and O. garganica. Because of these morphological differencesand its singular ecology it is described as Ophrys sphegodes subsp. grassoana.Furthermore two new hybrids are presented, Ophrys exaltata Ophrysgarganica from Niscemi (CL) and O. bertolonii subsp. explanata ×O. holosericea subsp. apulica from the island of Favignana in West Sicily.While the parent areas of the first hybrid overlap largely from Calabria toSicily, the parent areas of the second hybrid according current knowledgeoverlap very restrictivly only on the Egadian Islands.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
