The writer mentions the existence of the Ophrys passionis in Loire-Atlantique and in Vendée (France), which are two countries where this Orchid had never be seen before. All the observations so far emphasize the hypothesis that this Orchid is different from the other related Orchids through its ability to adapt to a specific pollinator, Andrena carbonaria.

(2001)
The Ophrys araneola which had not been seen in Vendée (France) since 1993 was rediscovered in may 1993 among a colony of Ophrys sphegodes. The writer underlines the risks of eventually confusing the two species and mentions the different characteristics of each in order to avoid any confusion.
