Derivation of the botanical name:
Ophrys, oQ^us, "the eye-brow", referring to the furry edges of the lips of several species. The latin name for this group of terrestrial orchids.
flavomarginata, yellow-rimmed.
- The standard author abbreviation Renz is used to indicate Jany Renz (1907 - 1999), a Greece (Corfu) born chemist (Sandoz Ag, Basel). He retired in 1971 from Sandoz and dedicated his time thereafter to the study of orchids.
Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE), Natural History, Book XXVI, XCIII, was the first to mention 'Ophrys': "Ophrys dyes it (the hair) black , a plant like indented cabbage, but with only two leaves."
