Selenipedium
''Selenipedium'' is a genus of the Orchid family (''Orchidaceae'') (Subfamily ''Cypripedioideae''). The genus has been given its own tribe, Selenipedieae, and subtribe, Selenipediinae.Pridgeon, A.M.; Cribb, P.J.; Chase, M.W. & F. N. Rasmussen (1999): Genera Orchidacearum Vol.1, Oxford U. Press. It is abbreviated Sel in trade journals. The name of the genus is derived from the Greek ''selen'', which means "moon", and ''pedium'', which means "slipper" (referring to the pouch). The seed capsules of these Central and South American lady's slipper orchids were formerly used as vanilla substitutes, but selenipediums are now rarely cultivated. Partly this is because of the difficulty of doing so, but is probably also due to the relatively small size of the Selenipedium's flower. The wild flower's Amazonian habitat is also under threat, so extinction is a risk for all species of Selenipedium. Accepted species include: * ''Selenipedium aequinoctiale'' Garay — Ecuador * ''Selenipediu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Selenipedium Dodsonii
''Selenipedium dodsonii'' is a species of flowering plant in the orchid family native to Ecuador, where it grows near rivers in rainforest. It was first described in 2015, and is named after Calaway Dodson. ''Selenipedium dodsonii'' is an endangered species, and is listed in Annex II to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Plants grow up to tall, and between April and November produce small flower A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae).

Cypripedioideae
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 (modified labella) 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. Description All representatives of the Cypripedioideae are perennial, herbaceous plants. The fleshy roots sometimes possess a veil. The leaves are arranged spirally or in two rows, the shoot is slender or compressed. In the bud, the leaves are rolled and the leaf blade is plikat (folded) or the leaves are folded in the bud, smooth and leathery. There is no dividing tissue between leaf and shoot. The inflorescence of the Cypripedioideae are termi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
