Taxonomy
Originally this was identified as Orchis coriophora subsp. fragans (Pollini) K.Richt. and even today some authorities like Delforge use the original name to present it as the new species Orchis fragrans Pollini. However the large databases at Kew, World Ckecklist etc. agree that the correct and accepted name for this taxon is Anacamptis coriophora (L.) R.M.Bateman, Pridgeon & M.W.Chase without any distinction being made between subspecies.
“Anacamptis coriophora” enters the record as species of flowering plant. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Anacamptis, coriophora and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Anacamptis coriophora” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Anacamptis, coriophora and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27885033. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
