Abstract

Data on hybrids of genus Ophrys L. from Alicante province (E of Spain) are reported. A new nothospecies, O. × fraresiana (O. lupercalis × O. lutea), is described from Sierra de Serrella. In addition, new records for O. × heraultii (O. speculum × O. tenthredinifera), O. × lucentina (O. dianica × O. lupercalis) and O. × pseudospeculum (O. lutea × O. scolopax) in Alicante are reported. The hybrid origin of the second is discussed, and the latter is cited for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula.
