Ophrys tenthredinifera, the sawfly orchid, is a terrestrial species of
orchid native to the
Mediterranean region from
Portugal and
Morocco to
Turkey.[1][2] The common name refers to a purported resemblance between the flower and the
sawfly, a wasp-like insect.
Many subspecies, varieties and forms have been proposed, but as of May 2014, none are recognized.[1]
