Current name: Anacamptis pyramidalis (L.) Rich. (Orchidaceae) .

Note: Al-Eisawi’s indication of type material in LINN can refer only to one collection (1054.17) and his choice therefore has priority over that of Baumann & al. (in Mitteilungsbl. Arbeitskr.. Heim. Orchid. B aden - W iirttem berg21: 439, Abb. 2. 1989), who chose a Ray figure instead.
