Ophrys tenthredinifera, or the sawfly orchid, is a terrestrial species of orchid native to the Mediterranean region from Portugal and Morocco to Turkey. The common name refers to a purported resemblance between the flower and the sawfly, a wasp-like insect.
Many subspecies, varieties and forms have been proposed, but as of May 2014, none are recognized.
