Serapias vomeracea Long-lipped Serapias
Vomeracea means that it looks like a ploughshare and the very long lip of the flower can best be seen side-on in the photo. At the base of the flower (barely discernible in the photograph) are two dark lumps which help the identification.
Taxonomy: All authorities agree that the correct, accepted name for this species is Serapias vomeracea (Burm.f.) Briq.
