WHAT DOES LADY'S-SLIPPER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lady's-slipper

Cypripedioideae

Lady's slipper orchids are orchids in the subfamily Cypripedioideae, which includes the genera Cypripedium, Mexipedium, Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium and Selenipedium. They are characterised by the slipper-shaped pouches of the flowers – the pouch traps insects so they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia, thus fertilizing the flower. Unlike other orchids, Cypripedioideae have two fertile anthers — they are "diandrous". This subfamily has been considered by some to be a family Cypripediaceae, separate from the Orchidaceae. Lady's slipper orchid The subfamily Cypripedioideae is monophyletic and consists of five genera. The Cypripedium genus is found across much of North America, as well as in parts of Europe and Asia. The state flower of Minnesota is the showy lady's slipper. The pink lady's slipper is also the official provincial flower of the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Paphiopedilums are found in the tropical forests of southeast Asia reaching as far north as southern China.
