Note: This species is not presented in "Флора на НР България", том II, БАН, София, (1964), but in "Die wildwachsende Orchideen Europas", H. Baumann, S. Künkele, Kosmos, Stuttgart, (1982), is appointed as usual for whole Bulgaria. See also www. B8 b. O. oestrifera group – Ophrys,

B8 b. O. oestrifera group

The old O. scolopax group B8 b. O. oestrifera group has now been splitted into three groups, O. scolopax group (B8 a), O. oestrifera group (B8 b) and O. heldreichii group (B8 c), due to intensive researches in the field and in herbaria made by J. Devillers-Terschuren and P. Devillers (Brussels, Belgium).
The O. oestrifera group as now understood, is a very large one, with at least 28 species distributed from Croatia in the west to eastern Anatolia, the Middle East and the Caucasus.
Probably many more species are still waiting to be spotted, as some of the newly described ones, like O. cerastes, for instance, are polytypic.
Some old, very well known names like O. oestrifera, O. cornuta and O. bremifera which were very much in use to design Greek Ophrys, apply indeed to plants from other countries, bremifera being an hybrid.
