Abstract

SPME analysis of the scent Ophrys orchids gave the following results: O. apifera: benzyl benzoate, -copaene, caryophyllene, and cyclosativene. O. crabronifera subsp. biscutella: pentadecene, pentadecane, heptadecane, nonadecane, and heinecosane. O. bertolonii subsp. bertolonii: pentadecane, heptadecane and nonadecane. O. passionis subsp. garganica: i-propyl palmitate, caryophyllene, pentadecane, and heptadecane. O. holosericea subsp. apulica: -copaene, pentadecane, caryophyllene, and heptadecane. O. lacaitae: -copaene, pentadecane, heptadecane, and caryophyllene. O. bombyliflora: cyclosativene, pentadecane, and ethyl dodecanoate. O. insectifera: 8-heptadecene, pentadecane, and heptadecane. O. lutea: heptadecane, 8-heptadecene, nonadecane, and docosane. O. tenthredinifera subsp. neglecta: -copaene, caryophyllene, and i-propyl palmitate.
