Notes
[Text as on label:][L. Montin scripsit:]Habitat ad Cap. b. spei.Specimen inde misit Exp. DD. Thunberg, anno 1775.[added by J.E. Wikström:]Herb. Montini.[Comments:][The protologue of Disa patens Sw. in Kongl. Vetensk. Acad. Handl. 21: 214 (1800) do not list any collections, but refers to Orchis filicornis, described from material collected in Cape by C.P. Thunberg; Disa patens (L.f.) Thunb. on the other hand is based on Ophrys patens L.f. described from material collected in Cape by A. Sparrman and belonging to a different taxon. The type status of this specimen is thus quite uncertain.Johannes Lundberg 2007-03-30]
