Annotation: Ophrys gottfriediana, an endemic of the Ionian Islands, was described based on plant material collected on Cephalonia and Zakynthos (Renz 1928: 255, t. LXV f. 5 & 6, t. LXVI f. 5 & 6). Its separation from O. ferrum-equinum (both share the same pollinator) is problematic, and its occurrence on Corfu is not acknowledged by recent authors (e. g. Paulus & Hirth 2014, Delforge 2016; both treating it at infraspecific rank). Intermediate populations have been observed on Zakynthos (Delforge 1993b: 124). [2016-08-31]
