European orchids – hybrids
Overview
The orchid family shows a certain propensity for hybridization. The finding of a natural hybrid is no rarity. Especially in the genus of the Bee Orchids (Ophrys) you often can find hybrids. A few years ago it was generally accepted that intergeneric hybrids are relative common between European orchids. Intergeneric hybrids are hybrids between two plants which belong to different genera. In botany this is a real rarity. With the application of molecular biologic analyses of orchids the classification of European orchids has been revolutionized. Some genera have been deleted without replacement, species have been regrouped to other genera and in some cases genera have been divided into two or more genera. I still use by habit the old nomenclature on my pages, but I will switch to the newer nomenclature within the next years, because the new nomenclature makes more sense for me. According to the new nomenclature almost no intergeneric hybrids exist any more.
