Anacamptis is a
scientific name
is derived from the Greek word anakamptein, meaning "to bend backwards".
These terrestrial orchids occur on
Mediterranean region to Central Asia
.
Systematics
Except the
diploid chromosome number of 32 or 36. A useful character for distinguishing Anacamptis from Orchis – where the green-veined orchid clade was formerly included – is the basal fusion of the three sepals in Anacamptis.[2]
The few bigeneric
early purple orchid (Orchis mascula), found in Cumbria (UK) in 1997, proved short-lived because of the highly divergent genomic lineages of the parents.[2]
