O. issleri Renner ex Rostanski , Fragm. FI. Geobot. 11: 514 (1965), differs in its strongly nodding stem which lacks red spots, but which may be red-striped, its sepal-apices forming V-shaped pairs and its longer petals (12-20 mm). It has 2n = 14 (ring of 14 chromosomes at meiosis), and is known from E. France (Alsace), where it is the commonest representative of the group, and Poland (near Wroclaw).
