Orchis mascula (Linnaeus) Linnaeus , Flora Suecica, ed. 2: 310. 1755.

Basionym: Orchis morio var. m ascula L. (1753) .

Lectotype (Baumann & al. in Mitteilungsbl. Arbeitskr.. Heim. Orchid. B a d en - W ü rttem b erg2 1: 530, Abb. 38. 1989): [icon] “ Testiculi species ////’’in Mattioli, Pi. Epit.: 624. 1586.

Current name: Orchis mascula (L.) L. (Orchidaceae) .

N ote: Baumann & al. (in Mitteilungsbl. Arbeitskr.. Heim. Orchid. B a d en -W iirttem b erg2 1: 518, Abb. 34. 1989) wrongly treated this as a new name, rather than a new combination based on O. morio var. m ascula L. (1753), and designated 1054.19 (LINN) as lectotype. However, O. mascula is homotypic with O. morio var. mascula , which is typified by a Mattioli plate.
