Scientific Name:
Phragmipedium

These orchids have long, flat leaves. They are larger than their Paphiopedilum cousin.
They are multiflorals; meaning they have multiple flowers on a single stem.
They are found in wetter environments unlike than their cousin, Paphiopedilum. Like the Paphiopedilum, they lack pesudobulbs.
The flower is comprised of synapel, which are formed by the lateral sepals. Petals are often elongated and the pouch has a slipper structure.

There are 21 species. Most of them are found within the Central / South America region.
