Abstract

In Croatia, a new taxon of orchid, Orchis x bergonii Nanteuil (Orchidaceae) was found on the southern Croatian island of Korčula in 2015. We were also able to confirm old records of Orchis x bivonae Tod. for the island of Korčula from 1934 and 1936. Both taxa grow on dry grasslands and olive groves in the central part of the island near the village of Smokvica. In addition, the presence of Ophrys x lyrata H. Fleischm. from Donje Blato near the village of Lumbarda, is a new record for the flora of the island of Korčula and southern Dalmatia.
