Neotinea tridentata

Neotinea tridentata, the three-toothed orchid, is a species of orchid found in southern Europe from Spain to Turkey; northwards to the Crimea, Poland and Germany.

[1] This orchid favours grassy places, woodland, scrub and maquis.

His published works include 'Plantarum rariorum Sicilae' (1817) and 'Catalogus plantarum horti' (1827).

[4] The specific epithet tridentata is Latin for three-toothed, a reference to the three main lobes of the labellum.

Orchis comes from the Greek for testicle, a reference to the shape of some species' tuberous roots.
