EPIPACTIS PLACENTINA  Bongiorni & Grünanger

Last updated 15/12/2014

Extremely rare; a specimen found in 1992 on M. Catria very likely belongs to this taxon (see CRESCENTINI/KLAVER 1997: 97). Its presence on M. Catria, or indeed in the Marche, needs to be confirmed.

The species was found in beechwoods at 1070 m just outside the administrative region bounderies on M. Cucco (PG)  in 2011.

Giovanni Cosoli found the species at Pintura di Bolognola (MC) on 24 August 2014.
