Appearance
It is a slender orchid which bears few flowers per stem, ten being a typical number and fifteen an absolute maximum. Variation is small and although white or pink flowers have been recorded, mauve is the usual colour. It flowers from April to May and as has already been mentioned, the flowers at the top of the inflorescence are the first to open, this being an important characteristic that greatly assists with identification.
Naming
A. boryi was first described by Reichenbach from Messinia, Greece in 1851, the species being named after J. Bory de Saint-Vincent, a French soldier and botanist.References:
