Description

Ophrys alpina Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 948. 1753.

"Habitat in Alpibus Lapponiae, Helvetiae." RCN: 6852.

Lectotype (Baumann & al. in Mitteilungsbl. Arbeitskr. Heim. Orchid. Baden-Württemberg 21: 445, Abb. 6. 1989): Herb. Linn. No. 1056.23, middle specimen (LINN).

Current name: Chamorchis alpina (L.) Rich. (Orchidaceae).

Note: Baumann & al. assume, on the basis of Linnaeus’ later Flora Suecica (1755: 317) account, that the type collection was made in Lapland by Hollsten, although there are no annotations on the sheet itself to indicate this.
