Morphological variability of taxa belonging to Ophrys sphegodes complex (Orchidaceae) from the western and central Balkan Peninsula

Project summary:

The objective of this project is to study the Ophrys sphegodes complex on the territory of the western and central Balkan Peninsula in order to determine the pattern of variability of generative organs in the studied species across a large geographical area and to identify new characters that will aid in the separation of taxa with high morphological similarity.
