Possibly frequent. The segregate 0. latifolia has been so much 

 misunderstood in Ireland that I give only such occurrences as have 

 been noted or verified by critical botanists acquainted with the plant. 

 The Waterford and Wexford plant is var. hrevifolia H. Gr. Eeich., which 

 is perhaps the prevailing Irish form. 



Orchis maculata L. Spotted Orchis. 

 Divisions all. Common.
