Annotation: The assignment of Ionian populations of Anacamptis morio (with often strikingly pale-coloured and few-flowered individuals) to the Eastern subsp. caucasica (Kretzschmar & al. 2007) is not fully convincing given the current state of knowledge. Previously they have often been classified as a Mediterranean race, subsp. picta (also treated as species), or under subsp. morio but with deviating features (cf. Petrou & al. 2011: 119). Such plants were described earlier as Orchis picta var. corcyrensis (based on plants from Corfu: »vers le col de San Pantaleone«; Camus 1931: 66). Thorough population studies still are needed within the overlapping zone of these races. [2016-08-31]
