DELFORGE, P. - Contribution to the knowledge of the Orchids of the island of Samos (Eastern Aegean, Greece). After a presentation of the geology, the geomorphology, the human impact over the landscape, and the vegetation of the island of Samos, a review of the past and present studies about Samian orchids is made. It appears that 54 orchids species were known for Samos around the year 1992 (Table 1). The negative repercussions of the recent climatic changes on the eastern Aegean orchid flora and of the big forest fires of 2000 on Samos are evoked. Research in Samos in March, April, and May 2008 has revealed 59 orchid species for the island, bringing their number up to 61 (Table 2). Among the 61 species certainly known for the island of Samos, one is very likely extinct (Cephalan- thera epipactoides), one, not seen in 2008, is represented by only one or few individuals very sporadic (Ophrys lesbis), and one, probably endemic, is nearly extinct (Dactylorhiza pythagorae). Two species, Ophrys basilissa and O. omegaifera are represented by few indi- viduals in flowers in 2008, growing each on one single site, and 9 others are present in only 1-2/406 squares of 1 km × 1 km: Epipactis condensata, E. microphylla, Ophrys cerastes var. minuscula, O. ceto, O. homeri, O. phryganae, O. polycratis, O. villosa (s. str.), and Neottia ovata. Discussions are made for each species observed or listed in the island of Samos, fol- lowing the order used in DELFORGE (2006A). The genus Cephalanthera is represented by C. longifolia (very local), C. rubra (extremely local and rare), and C. epipactoides (extremely local and rare, known from only one site, probably extinct after the big fires of 2000, which have destroyed numerous pinewoods of the island). The genus Epipactis is represented by E. microphylla (extremely local and rare, suffering from the climatic changes), E. condensata (extremely local and rare, first mention for Samos), and E. densifolia (very local, usually identified to E. helleborine or E. atrorubens before 2003). Limodorum abortivum is local, Neottia ovata extremely local and rare, but abundant in its 2 stations, Spiranthes spiralis, which flowers only in Octobre, known from few places, and Platanthera chlorantha extremely local. The genus Dactylorhiza is represented by D. romana (rather widespread only in the Ambelos, the central massif of the island), and D. pythagorae (endemic, nearly extinct, but which could represents a local settlement of D. nieschalkiorum in Samos). The genus Serapias in the island comprises S. parviflora (very local), S. bergonii (rather widespread), S. vomeracea (very local), S. orientalis var. orientalis (very local), S. orientalis var. carica (local). All the Anacamptis pyramidalis seen in 2008 belong to A. pyramidalis var. brachys- tachys, widespread. The genus Orchis is represented by 14 species belonging to 7 species (*) avenue du Pic Vert 3, B-1640 Rhode-Saint-Genèse E-mail: [email protected] Manuscrit déposé le 27.X.2008, accepté le 9.XI.2008.

Himatoglossum robertianum is the sole Himantoglossum species on Samos, where it is rather widespread, better represented that it is usually said. The genus Ophrys is represented by 29 species sometimes considered, as usual, as difficult to identify. The sectio Pseudophrys on Samos comprises 11 species which belong to 6 species groups: (1) the Ophrys iricolor group with the sole O. iricolor (rather widespread), (2) the O. attaviria group with O. parosica (var. parosica, local, and var. phaseliana, much more rarer), and O. pelinaea (very local, first mention for Samos), (3) the O. blitopertha group with O. blitopertha (very local), (4) the O. subfusca group with O. cinereophila (very local, first mention for Samos), (5) the O. lutea group by O. sicula (rather widespread), and O. phryganae (extremely local), and (6) the O. omegaifera group with O. omegaifera (extremely local and very rare), O. basilissa (extremely local and very rare), O. sitiaca (very local), and the late-flowering O. polycratis extremely local, here described. The section Ophrys (= Euophrys GODFERY nom. nudum) on Samos comprises 18 species which belong to 9 species groups: (1) the Ophrys speculum group with O. speculum (local), and O. regis-ferdinandii (very local), (2) the O. tenthredinifera group with O. bombyliflora (very local), the large flowered O. leochroma (extremely local), and O. villosa (extremely local), (3) O. apifera, very local, (4) the O. bornmuelleri group with O. heterochila (local), frequently misunderstood due to its floral variability, and the very large- and late-flowering O. episcalis var. samia (very local, scattered in the island, var. nov. here described), (5) the O. oestrifera group with O. cerastes (var. cerastes, very local, and var. minuscula, much more rarer), O. ceto (extremely local), and O. dodekanensis (very local), (6) the O. heldre- ichii group with O. homeri (extremely local), (7) the O. umbilicata group with O. umbilica- ta (local), (8) the Ophrys reinholdii group with O. reinholdii (very local), (8) the O. argoli- ca group, represented by one or few individuals of O. lesbis, not seen in 2008, perhaps extinct, and (9) the O. mammosa group with O. ferrum-equinum (local, with very varied flowers: f. ferrum-equinum, f. labiosa, f. subtriloba, and f. minor), O. mammosa (local), and the early-flowering O. herae (very local, described from Samos in 1992). After carefull examination of “critical” plants precisely located in the field as well as numerous photographs, published or not, it appears that numerous old or recent mentions of orchids, made for Samos, are questionable or erroneous. As a result, the following species must be deleted from the list of the orchids of the island of Samos: Cephalanthera cucullata, Epipactis atrorubens, E. helleborine, Ophrys attica, O. bremifera, O. candica, O. cerastes, O. cornuta, O. cornutula, O. cretica, O. doerfleri, O. ‘fuciflora-holoserica’, O. fusca (s. str.), O. heldreichii, O. leucadica, O.

  • Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C
    Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C. Foss and G. Reger (islands), 1994 Introduction The continental part of the map comprises three distinct geographic regions: the coasts of Ionia and Caria, the Maeander valley, and the mountainous hinterland of Caria. The coastal region, settled by Greeks in their first great expansion in the Iron Age, became the site of major cities and many smaller settlements along its deeply indented coastline. The excavators of Ephesus and Miletus have long surveyed the regions of those cities, and other classical scholars have investigated the rest of Ionia. The Ionian coast has seen great physical changes since antiquity. The vast quantities of alluvium deposited by the R. Maeander have made the ancient port of Ephesus an inland town, and turned the former Gulf of Latmos near Miletus into a lake (inset and E2). The Carian coast, with its numerous small ports, is well known thanks to the researches of Bean and Fraser. The broad Maeander valley, which divides Ionia from Caria, always played a major role in the economy of the region with its fertility and the communication it provided between coast and interior. It has not been systematically surveyed. The river’s tributaries offered an outlet for the scattered settlements in the basins and plateaus of the heavily forested interior of Caria. Much of this region, as well as many parts of neighboring ones, was carefully explored by Louis Robert. The map omits Carian sites for which no Greek name is attested; for these, see Radt (1970). For unnamed village sites also not marked, see Marchese (1989, 147-54).

It argues that such evidence literally and metaphorically involves mirrors and maps, and transcribes important parameters of an eloquent cognitive geography, forged from long-established knowledge and empirical wisdom, and relevant to modern scientific insights, including archaeological ones. If systematically investigated and thoroughly deciphered, this may disclose numerous meaningful elements of the insular topoi we study; and thus enrich significantly our efforts to conceive them as ‘total’ natural and cultural geographies – or ‘insularities’ – through time.
