Editing Anacamptis pyramidalis (section)

== Ecology ==
The flowers are pollinated by [[Butterfly|butterflies]] and [[moth]]s. To ensure the fertilization, their morphology is well adapted to the proboscis of [[Lepidoptera]], especially ''[[Euphydryas]]'', ''[[Melanargia]]'', ''[[Melitaea]]'', ''[[Pieris (butterfly)|Pieris]]'' and ''[[Zygaena]]'' species. The mechanism by which its pairs of [[pollinium|pollinia]] attach themselves to an insect's [[proboscis]] was discovered by [[Charles Darwin]] and described in his book on the ''[[Fertilisation of Orchids]]''.<ref name=orchids24>{{harvnb|Darwin|1862|pp=[http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?viewtype=text&itemID=F800&pageseq=35 20–24], [http://darwin-online.org.uk/content/frameset?viewtype=side&itemID=F800&pageseq=52 37]}}</ref>

''Anacamptis pyramidalis'' has been suggested to form [[mycorrhizal fungi|mycorrhizal]] relationships with ''[[Rhizoctonia]]'', ''[[Fusarium]]'' and ''Papulaspora'' species.<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Arzu_Cig/publication/327362280_In_vitro_symbiotic_germination_potentials_of_some_Anacamptis_Dactylorhiza_Orchis_and_Ophrys_terrestrial_orchid_species/links/5b8beee0299bf1d5a7391708/In-vitro-symbiotic-germination-potentials-of-some-Anacamptis-Dactylorhiza-Orchis-and-Ophrys-terrestrial-orchid-species.pdf Applied ecology and environmental research - In Vitro Symbiotic Germination Potentials of Some Anacamptis, Dactylorhiza, Orchis and Ophrys Terrestrial Orchid Species]</ref><ref>[http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/abstract.htm?id=10547 Turkish Journal of Botany - Diversity of endophytic fungi from various Aegean and Mediterranean orchids (saleps)]</ref>
