Ophrys ×dessartiana is a natural hybrid orchid, a cross between two wild Ophrys species of the bee orchid group, grown mainly in the wild rather than as a garden plant. Success depends on keeping it in its native habitat or a naturalistic meadow, as wild orchids rarely do well in pots.
Ophrys × dessartiana, synonyms including Ophrys × tumentia, is a hybrid plant species in the family Orchidaceae (orchids). As of September 2025, Plants of the World Online treated the species as "unplaced".
