Like O. lacaitae, it is related to O. holosericea (late spider orchid). Southern Italy is especially rich in taxa in this group which all have large, almost square lips.

Description: 10-30(40) cm tall lower bracts longer than ovary.2-7 flowers,serpals green,greenish,whitish rarely washed pink with a green central vein.

Habitat: Usually mid-shade on moist,alkaline subtrates.Associated principally with woodland of Downy Oak(Quercus pubescens)Rarely short grassland,garrigue and scrub upto 600m
Very rare and local

Bonjour Juanit,
Très joli spécimen, injustement oublié par les Treknaturiens... Le flash a peut être un peu applati le relief de la fleur, mais le sujet demeure très beau. J'espère vraiment retourner dans les Pouilles et le Gargano un jour au printemps...
Amicalement,
Hervé
