  1. lady-slipper

    Lady-slipper, also known as Lady's Slipper, is a common name for a variety of plant species in the orchid family (Orchidaceae), especially those from the subfamily Cypripedioidea. This group of plants is characterized by their slipper-shaped pouches (modified petal), which function by trapping insects so that they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia, thus fertilizing the flower. The name "lady-slipper" is a reference to the unique shape of the modified petal.
