Liguria: In collibus Oreginae, Feritoris intra moenia Genuae, Viviani s.n., (lectotype: FI002791!, designated by Hautzinger 1978). Basionym: Orchis brevicornis Viv., Ann. Bot. (Genoa) 1(2): 184 (1804). Homotypic synonyms: Orchis patens var. brevicornis (Viv.) Rchb.f. in H. G. L.Reichenbach, Icon. Fl. Germ. Helv. 13–14: 39 (1851); Orchis patens ‘b’ brevicornis (Viv.) K.Richt., Pl. Eur. 1: 268 (1890). Heterotypic synonym: Orchis brevicornis var. minor Viv., Ann. Bot. (Genoa) 1(2): 184 (1804). Type:— ITALY. Liguria: Monte Fasce, Lando s.n. (FI?, not seen). Distribution:— North-western Italy (Liguria). Notes:— Richter (1890) already treated this as a subtaxon under O. patens, but rank was not specified. Viviani (1808) renamed it Orchis brevicornu, but this is an invalid ‘correction’, and therefore the epithet is brevicornis (Fig. 1b).
