Lockerblütiges Knabenkraut

Beschreibung: Pflanze hochwüchsig, 30 - 60 cm hoch. Stengel steif aufrecht, etwas hin- und hergebogen, im oberen Teil purpura überlaufen. Laubblätter 5 - 8, am Stengel verteilt und keine Rosette bildend. Grundständige Blätter bis 25 cm lang und 1,3 - 2,0 cm breit, stark gefaltet, ungefleckt. Blätter nach oben kleiner werdend, aus breiter Basis zur Spitze verschmälert. Der Blütenstand ist sehr langgestreckt und lockerblütig, bis zu 20 cm lang. Die Tragblätter sind purpura überlaufen, die unteren etwas länger als der Fruchtknoten, die oberen etwa gleich lang. Die Blüten sind relativ groß und mit Ausnahme der hellen Lippenmitte violettrot gefärbt. Die seitlichen Sepalen sind vollständig zurückgeschlagen, 11 - 14 mm lang und 5 - 6 mm breit. Die Lippe ist deutlich gelappt, die Seitenlappensind länger als der Mittellappen und stark nach hinten zurückgeschlagen. Die Lippe ist 9 - 12 mm lang und 14 - 18 mm breit. Der Sporn ist aufwärts gebogen und 12 - 14 mm lang, etwas kürzer als der Fruchtknoten, am Ende oft geteilt.
Blütezeit: Anfang April bis Mitte Juni
Höhenverbreitung: Von der Küste bis etwa 1500 m.
Standort: Naßwiesen und andere geeignete Feuchtbiotope.
Naturschutz: Im Mittelmeergebiet durch Trockenlegung von Feuchtbiotopen stark zurückgehend.
Bastarde: Nachgewiesen mit O. coriophora, longicornu, morio und palustris, sehr selten sind Gattungsbastarde mit Serapias cordigera, lingua, neglecta, vomeracea und A. pyramidalis.

Orchis laxiflora Lam.

Description: Plant quite tall, 30 - 60 cm high. Stem stiff upright, slightly bent back and forth, crowded at the top of purpura. Leaves 5 - 8, distributed on the stem and not rosette-forming. Basal leaves to 25 cm long and 1.3 - 2.0 cm wide, strongly folded, unspotted. Leaves smaller and smaller, from a broad base to the tip narrowed upwards. The inflorescence is very elongated and loose, up to 20 cm long. The bracts change color to purple, lower slightly longer than the ovary, that top of approximately equal length. The blossoms are violet-colored, relatively large and except for the bright lip middle. The lateral sepals are completely repulsed, 11 - 14 results mm long and 5 - 6 mm wide. The lip is clearly lobed, the lateral lobes are repulsed back longer than the middle lobe and strong aimed too far back. The lip is 9 - 12 mm long and 14 - 18 mm wide. The spur is bent upward and 12 - 14 mm long, slightly shorter than the ovary, often end up divided.
Flowering time: early April to mid-June
Height Spread: From the coast to about 1500 m.
Habitat: wet meadows and other suitable wetlands.
Conservation: In the Mediterranean area through drainage of wetlands heavily going back.
Bastards: Proved with O. coriophora, longicornu, morio and palustris, are very rare genus bastards with Serapias cordigera, lingua, neglecta, vomeracea and A. pyramidalis.

Anacamptis laxiflora (lax-flowered orchid, loose-flowered orchid, or green-winged meadow orchid) is a species of orchid. Wide distribution range in Europe and Asia as far north as in Gotland (Sweden). Tall plant, grows up to 60 cm high. Found in wet meadows with alcaline soil.[1] Common in Normandy and Brittany (France), in United Kingdom represented only on Channel Islands, where it is called Jersey Orchid. Notable habitat is Le Noir Pré meadow in Jersey, where each year in late May - early June can be observed mass bloom of these orchids.[2]
