Orchis mascula subsp speciosa (Hypochromatic form)

            Orchis mascula subsp speciosa (Orchidaceae) 165 23

This is one of western Europe's most widespread Orchis and can be found in a variety of habitats over a huge range that takes it as far west as the Canary Islands and from North Africa in the south right up to the Arctic Circle. 
Orchis  mascula reaches Italy and Greece in the east but beyond this becomes increasingly localized.
Its name refers to the "masculine" appearance of the underground tubers. 
The appearance of the orchid is variable with much depending upon the type of habitat in which it grows. On calcareous soils it tends to be a smaller plant with a dense inflorescence and large individual flowers, on clay and particularly in woodland, it can become a tall plant of to 60cms with a loose flower head of up to 50 flowers.
