Ophrys arnoldii and Ophrys lucentina, two new species of the Ophrys fusca group | Ophrys arnoldii et Ophrys lucentina, deux especes nouvelles du groupe d'Ophrys fusca

Delforge, P.
Personal research on the Ophrys fusca species group since 1971 in the western Mediterranean basin, particularly in Spain, has led to the recognition of two new species. The first, Ophrys arnoldii, is a late flowering species presented formerly as Ophrys "fusca second flowering group", and as "late Catalan taxon" by Delforge; Ophrys arnoldii is present in Spain, apparently from Andalusia in the South, till La Rioja and the Catalogna to the North, in the Baleares, and in France (Aude and perhaps, Var); it is probably a member of the Ophrys funerea subgroup and seems more closely related to Ophrys calocaerina than to Ophrys lupercalis. The second, Ophrys lucentina, from the Alicante province (eastern Spain), looks at first like an hybrid between O. fusca s.l, and Ophrys lutea s.l, or to an atypic Ophrys bilunulata with large flowers. Nevertheless, it does not seem to be a member of the O. subfusca subgroup nor of the O. lutea species group but rather of the O. fusca subgroup, in which it appears as an original taxon , and apparently adapted to very dry habitats. It is very probably present also in Portugal and in southern France.
