N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

this is a tentative ID on my part (based on what appears to be a frilled labellum edge, time of flowering, and habitat), but this is certainly not Orchis mascula
an examination of the specimen itself would be advisable
