What would you call this weird Dactylorhiza fuchsii?
I found this odd Dactylorhiza fuchsii in Triglav National Park in Slovenia a couple of weeks ago, at app. 1200 m.
It was a single specimen among lots of regular fuchsii.
What would you call this?
var. rhodochila has been suggested to me but the colouration of the leaves is completely wrong.
To quote a couple of sites:
"...dark purple leaves that were blotched pale green"
"...The leaves are heavily spotted and suffused with the same colour as the flowers producing a brownish-bronze coloration."
By contrast, the leaves on this were a completely unspotted bright green.
...and how uncommon is such a specimen?
