Morphological Continua Make Poor Species: Genus-Wide Morphometric Survey of the European Bee Orchids (Ophrys L.).
Despite (or perhaps because of) intensive multidisciplinary research, opinions on the optimal number of species recognised within the Eurasian orchid genus Ophrys range from nine to at least 400. The lower figure of nine macrospecies is based primarily on seeking small but reliable discontinuities in DNA ‘barcode’ regions, an approach... -

Systematic revision of Platanthera in the Azorean archipelago: not one but three species, including arguably Europe’s rarest orchid.
The Macaronesian islands represent an excellent crucible for exploring speciation. This dominantly phenotypic study complements a separate genotypic study, together designed to identify and circumscribe species (butterfly-orchids) on the Azores, and to determine their geographic origin(s) and underlying speciation mechanism(s). 216 individuals of from 30 Azorean localities spanning all nine...Bateman, Richard M. ; Rudall, Paula J. ; Moura, Mónica
