Survey reveals new presence of Ophrys promontorii in Croatia, suggesting its potential subendemic status.
In late April 2023, a group of British naturalists conducted a botanical survey along the Dalmatian coast. Several interesting species of the bee orchids from the Ophrys sphegodes complex (Orchidaceae) were recorded and photographed. The species Ophrys promontorii O. Danesch et E. Danesch, endemic to central and southern Italy, was discovered on the Pelješac Peninsula. It is the first record of this species outside the Italian borders, and a new species in the Croatian flora. Its description and the main information on the species are given.
