Cypripedioideae is a subfamily of orchids commonly known as lady's slipper orchids, lady slipper orchids or slipper orchids. Cypripedioideae 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. There are approximately 165 species in the subfamily.
Paphiopedilum, often called the Venus slipper, is a genus of the lady slipper orchid subfamily Cypripedioideae of the flowering plant family Orchidaceae. The genus comprises some 80 accepted taxa including several natural hybrids. The genus is native to Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, southern China, New Guinea and the Solomon and Bismarck Islands. The type species of this genus is Paphiopedilum insigne.
Cymbidium, commonly known as boat orchids, is a genus of evergreen flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial or rarely leafless saprophytic herbs usually with pseudobulbs. There are usually between three and twelve leaves arranged in two ranks on each pseudobulb or shoot and lasting for several years. From one to a large number of flowers are arranged on an unbranched flowering stem arising from the base of the pseudobulb. The sepals and petals are all free from and similar to each other. The labellum is significantly different from the other petals and the sepals and has three lobes. There are about fifty-five species and sixteen further natural hybrids occurring in the wild from tropical and subtropical Asia to Australia. Cymbidiums are well known in horticulture and many cultivars have been developed. The genome of Cymbidium mannii has been sequenced to study epiphytism and crassulacean acid metabolism.
Selenipedium is a genus of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). The genus has been given its own tribe, Selenipedieae, and subtribe, Selenipediinae. It is abbreviated Sel in trade journals.
Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum, common name shiny green leaf paphiopedilum or tropical lady's-slipper, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Paphiopedilum of the family Orchidaceae.
Paphiopedilum charlesworthii is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae.
Paphiopedilum spicerianum is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae. It is said to be endemic to Assam (India) but might actually be rather widespread, though nowhere common, between Bhutan and northwestern Myanmar.
Paphiopedilum gratrixianum is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae found from Laos to Vietnam.
Paphiopedilum wenshanense is a species of Paphiopedilum in the subgenus Brachypetalum found in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan, China. The plant is found growing in densely shrubby and grassy slopes in limestone areas at elevations between 1000 and 1200 meters.
Paphiopedilum vietnamense is a species of orchid found from Thái Nguyên Province in northern Vietnam. It was discovered in 1997 and it is endangered.
Cynorkis angustipetala is an orchid species in the genus Cynorkis found in Madagascar.
Paphiopedilum parishii is a species of orchid found in northern and western Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Yunnan and Assam, in montane forests at 1200–2200 m above sea level. It is named after Charles Samuel Pollock Parish, an English botanist and avid plant collector who had a particular interest in the flora of Myanmar.
Vanilla siamensis is a plant species of southern China, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It is an epiphyte that occurs in montane evergreen forests.
Paphiopedilum subgenus Parvisepalum is a subgenus of the genus Paphiopedilum.
Paphiopedilum subgenus Polyantha is a subgenus of the genus Paphiopedilum. Species in this section have more than one flower per inflorescence.
Paphiopedilum subgenus Brachypetalum is a subgenus of the genus Paphiopedilum.
Paphiopedilum subgenus Cochlopetalum is a subgenus of the genus Paphiopedilum.
Paphiopedilum subgenus Sigmatopetalum is a subgenus of the genus Paphiopedilum.
Paphiopedilum subgenus Megastaminodium is a subgenus of the orchid genus Paphiopedilum. It was erected to accommodate the single species Paphiopedilum canhii due to its distinct characteristics that made it unfit for the other subgenera. Its placement has since been backed by cytological, molecular and micromorphological evidence.
Bulbophyllum sect. Elasmotopus is a section of the genus Bulbophyllum.
