Abstract: Orchis purpurea Huds. is a species that is considered “vulnerable” (VU) and is protected in Poland (Zarzycki et al. 2014; Kaźmierczakowa et al. 2016). In 2025, a new locality of O. purpurea was found on the slopes of the Matyska hill near Żywiec – the fourth locality in the Polish Carpathians. The single flowering plant was observed growing amongst thickets of Prunus avium, Corylus avellana, Crataegus rhipidophylla and other shrub species (Fig. 1).
