Notes.

Dactylorhiza incarnata is the most common orchid species in the studied region, found in almost all areas. However, for Turgay FR, it was recently reported by mistake. The corresponding localities ( Sumbembayev et al. 2023) actually refer to the Tobol-Ishim FR. There are currently no known orchid species that occur in Turgay FR. Existing reports of D. traunsteineri (Saut. ex Rchb.) Soó for Kazakhstan are most likely based on misidentified D. incarnata. Therefore, the report of D. traunsteineri for Urkach Plateaeu in Mugodzhary (Kusnetsov and Pavlov 1958) is possibly based on a herbarium specimen in LE with incomplete label (Alexandri Lehmann Reliquiae botanicae, Orchis angustifolia , [det.] Al. Bunge), which was probably collected near the end of May 1842 ( Bunge 1847).

During the revision of MHA herbarium materials, we found a herbarium specimen from the Mugodzhary FR (Aktobe Region: Mugalzhar District: the southern tip of the Mugodzhar Mountains, west of Algabas railway station, 21-22 Jun 1987, Skvortsov s.n.. (MHA!)). In our opinion, this specimen corresponds to Dactylorhiza ochroleuca . The identification is based on information provided on the herbarium label ("pale, pink-fawn flowers"). However, it is possible that these plants belong to hypochromic variants of D. incarnata . Exact determination is possible only through allozyme analysis ( Filippov et al. 2017) or DNA analysis.
