The Lizard Orchid is more commonly known as Himantoglossum hircinum. It is found across Europe, from Spain eastwards to the Balkans and Hungary and in western North Africa. It is usually rare but can sometimes be found in great numbers in suitable habitats. This orchid grows in dry meadows, rocky areas, and open woods. It may reach a height of 90 cm.
The Lizard Orchid is found at a number of sites in Britain including the following in southwest England:
• Berrow Dunes
• Cuckoo Lake, Kendleshire, South Gloucestershire
• a road verge near Lytchett Minster, in Dorset, which is managed by Dorset County Council as a protected road verge.
A relatively large population is found in East Anglia, along the stretch of the "Devils Dyke" that runs through newmarket racecourse.
Small populations can be found along the French Mediterranean coast just south of Narbonne within 2 km of the sea and 2–4 km inland from the Gironde Estuary near Royan.
Small numbers have been found in the Mugello valley at the foot of the Apennines North of Florence.
