'''''Paphiopedilum''''' is a [[genus]] in the orchid family ([[Orchidaceae]]) of approximately 77 species native to South [[China]], [[India]], [[Southeast Asia]] and the [[Pacific Islands]]. The genus has been given its own [[subtribe]], the '''Paphiopedilinae'''.

== Description ==
+
===Propagation===
−
The genus name ''Paphiopedilum'' is derived from the Greek ''Paphos'', a city on the island of Cyprus, and ''pedilon'', slipper. Most species in this genus were previously considered part of the genus ''Cypripedium'', but ''Paphiopedilum'' was accepted as the conserved (valid in use) name in 1959.
+
{{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
   −
''Paphiopedilum'' (sometimes colloquially referred to as "Paphs") are considered highly collectible by growers due to the curious and unusual form of their flowers. Most naturally occur among humus layers as [[terrestrial plant |terrestrial]]s on the forest floor, while a few are true [[epiphyte]]s and some are [[lithophyte]]s.

   −
Along with ''[[Phragmipedium]]'', ''[[Cypripedium]]'', ''[[Mexipedium]]'', and ''[[Selenipedium]]'', the genus is a member of the subfamily ''[[Cypripedioideae]]'', commonly referred to as the Lady’s or Venus’ [[Lady's Slipper|Slipper Orchids]], so named from the unusual shape of the [[pouch (orchids)|pouch]] ([[labellum]]) of the flower, which was said to resemble a lady’s slipper. The pouch functions by trapping insects so that they are forced to climb up past the [[staminode]], behind which they collect or deposit [[pollinium|pollinia]].

These [[sympodial]] orchids lack [[pseudobulb]]s. Instead they grow robust [[shoot]]s, each with several [[leaf|leaves]]. These can be short and rounded or long and narrow, and typically have a mottled pattern. When older shoots die, newer ones take over. Each new shoot only blooms once when it is fully grown, producing a [[raceme]] between the fleshy, succulent leaves. The roots are thick and fleshy. Potted plants form a tight lump of roots that, when untangled, can be up to l m long.

The Chinese orchid ''Paphiopedilum armeniacum'', discovered in 1979 and described in 1982, amazed growers of orchids by the extraordinary beauty of its golden flowers.
  −
 
  −
The Paphiopedilums are among the most widely cultivated and hybridized of orchid genera. Thousands of interspecific [[hybrid]]s have been registered with the [[Royal Horticultural Society]] in [[London]] over the years. These orchids are relatively easy to grow indoors, as long as conditions that mimic their natural habitats are created. Most species thrive in moderate to high humidity (50 to 70 percent), moderate temperatures ranging from 13 to 35 degrees [[Celsius]] and low light of 12,000 to 20,000 [[lux]]. Modern hybrids are typically easier to grow in artificial conditions than their parent species.

==[[Synonymy]]==
  −
The 3 genera '''''Cordula''''' <small>[[Constantine Samuel Rafinesque|Raf.]]</small>, '''''Stimegas''''' <small>[[Constantine Samuel Rafinesque|Raf.]]</small> and '''''Menephora''''' <small>[[Constantine Samuel Rafinesque|Raf.]]</small> are generally considered synonyms of ''Paphiopedilum''.
