Unfortunately, there is until today a taxonomic chaos between different institutes and scientists between Ophrys fuciflora, Ophrys holoserica and Ophrys holosericea. Kreutz and other are working on this topic. Perhaps there will be an agreement. Then the generally accepted name should be adopted here too. Orchi (talk) 15:14, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

See this paper; Greuter, W., 2008. On the correct name of the late spider orchid, and its appropriate spelling: Ophrys holosericea. J. Eur. Orch, 40(4): 657-662. ResearchGate. This is followed by IPNI, EMD and POWO. In addition, the basionym for Ophrys fuciflora (F.W.Schmidt) Moench, Suppl. Meth. (Moench) 311. (1802) was published after that for Ophrys holosericea (Burm.f.) Greuter, Boissiera 13: 185 (1967). Therefore, the later has priority under ICBN, unless there is problems with publication. Until Kreutz publishes and convinces us otherwise, then this orthography and synonymy should be used. The taxon page needs to be moved in my opinion, as this is a very important orchid in the European Flora. Andyboorman (talk) 19:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
