N2 - The genus Dactylorhiza Necker ex Nevski in general, and the
allopolyploids of the D. majalis (Rchb.) P.F. Hunt & Summerh. aggregate
in particular, have long been an exceptional focus for both
taxonomic and nomenclatural controversy within Orchidaceae subtribe
Orchidinae; indeed, D. majalis itself was the subject of a recent
successful proposal to conserve against three earlier, but less
well-known, species names (Pedersen & al. in Taxon 52: 633–634.
2003). The many epithets generated within the D. majalis aggregate
represent entities that are at best only subtly morphologically distinct
(e.g., Bateman & Denholm in Watsonia 14: 347–376. 1983; Pedersen in
Nordic J. Bot. 18: 289–310. 1998), reflecting their shared origins from
hybrids between diploid ovule-parents of the D. maculata aggregate
and pollen-parents of the D. incarnata aggregate (e.g., Heslop-Harrison
in Jahresber. Naturwiss. Vereins Wuppertal 21–22: 20–27. 1968;
Hedrén in Pl. Syst. Evol. 201: 31–55. 1996; Hedrén & al. in Amer. J.
Bot. 88: 1868–1880. 2001).
