Random collection and trade of the orchid for medicinal and edible use (salep) subjected it to a risk of extinction. Consequently, the current work aimed to propagate this orchid in vivo. Orchid bulbs were transplanted from the wild into four different soil substrates (Pinebark, Pinebark-Peat (1/1), Peat-Sand (1/1) and control: soil from the collection site) under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. The effect of mycorrhizal application (MY: Yes) was tested in the different substrates except in control and orchid bulbs (son bulb and mother bulb) were planted combined (SB+MB) or after separation of the mother bulb (SB). Same treatments were repeated over two consecutive years. Results showed an earlier emergence of son bulbs (SB) grown in control substrate. Moreover, there was a significant difference in plant growth with superiority for (SB) compared to (SB+MB) regarding plant length and elongation of first leaf except bulb dimensions (length and width) that were higher in (SB+MB). Mycorrhizal application enhanced the overall growth of plants and its effect was the most obvious in the substrate Peat-Sand (1/1). In general, the best growth of the orchid was observed at the level (SB)/(MY:Yes)/Peat-Sand (1/1). Results of the second experimental year confirmed those of the first year with an improvement of the rate of emergence by 13%. The in vivo propagation method was beneficial on improving the growth of A. pyramidalis ex situ and it could be adopted as an initiative for wild orchid conservation.

Lebanon a part of this zone presents one of the best examples where a landscape and floristic diversity is found due to its geographical location and high variability 5 AGROFOR International Journal, Vol. 3, Issue No. 3, 2018 of abiotic conditions (Jomaa, 2008). Wild orchids are among this richness, where more than 87 species are found (Bou Dagher Kharrat, 2010), among which several species are considered as endemic in the east Mediterranean zone. The genus Anacamptis (Orchidaceae) consists of 11 species (Kretzschmar et al., 2007) and was first established by the French botanist Louis Claude Marie Richard (1754- 1821) in 1817, based on Anacamptis pyramidalis (L.) Rich., the well-known Pyramidal Orchid (Wood and Ramsay, 2004). Pyramidal orchid is characterized by an erect stem, linear basal leaves, purple pink flowers in conical spike and ellipsoidal bulbs (Tohme and Tohme, 2014). In general, the Mediterranean terrestrial orchids including Pyramidal orchid have consistent annual growth pattern, beginning and ending by one or more dormant bulbs over summer during the drought period. Bulbs re-sprout in the following autumn and leaf formation begins in early winter and continues during winter cold season (Brundrett, 2014). This species is threatened under large scale collection pressure due to its economic value which requires the reproduction trials inevitably (Sevgi et al., 2012). It is strictly protected in some European countries such as Czech Republic and Slovak Republic where it is under the risk of extinction. It is simultaneously protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) (Štajner et al., 2010). In Lebanon, Anacamptis pyramidalis is found in different regions like Quamouaa, Ehden, Boutmeh, Kfarhouna and others (Tohme and Tohme,
