Paphiopedilum , in German-speaking women shoes or Venus shoes called, is a plant genus within the family of orchids (Orchidaceae). The over 100 species and subspecies are distributed in the Paleotropis from India via Nepal , southern China , Thailand , Malaysia to the Philippines , Borneo , Sumatra and New Guinea . The genus Paphiopedilum is often confused with the genus lady's slipper ( Cypripedium )by laypeople.
description

Vegetative characteristics
Paphiopedilum species are perennial herbaceous plants . They grow terrestrially , lithophytically in moss, rarely epiphytically . The growth is sympodial , that is, the shoot no longer grows after the vegetation period and a new shoot is formed through the rhizome . The leaves can be marbled or light green, the latter form can be grown cooler.
Generative characteristics
In the upper area of the hairy inflorescence stem there are one or more bracts , over each of which a flower bud stands. The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and threefold. The principal flowering characteristic of Paphiopedilum is the lower Petalum that in the evolution has developed to a shoe-like shape, and the upper sepal, which is larger than other orchids. The two outer petals can sometimes be twisted, for example in Paphiopedilum glanduliferum .
pharmacology
Paphiopedilum species are slightly poisonous in all parts of the plant. The toxins are concentrated in the foliage leaf and stem. The main active ingredient is crystallized calcium oxalate . Eating parts of plants can lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, the quinoid compounds contained in the plant cause contact allergies .
Systematics






The genus Paphiopedilum was established by Pfitzer in 1886 . Synonyms for Paphiopedilum Pfitzer nom. cons. are: Cordula Raf. , Stimegas Raf. , Menephora Raf.
