Abstract
In 2015 two new orchid taxa were observed for the first time inside the Natura 2000 site „Vejalnica and Krč“ (SE slopes of the Medvednica Mt., NE of the Croatian capital Zagreb). These are: Orchis simia Lam. and Orchis × beyrichii (Rchb.f.) A.Kern. This is the first recent find of O. simia at eastern Medvednica and the first find of O. × beyrichii for continental Croatia. Observed morphological variations and differences between the parent species and the hybrid are systematised and discussed with respect to other published hybrid zone research results.
