The Ladies Slipper Orchid, also known as the Yellow Lady's Slipper Orchid, is a rare and enchanting flower belonging to the Orchidaceae family, specifically the Cypripedioideae tribe. This monocotyledonous angiosperm is renowned for its unique and intriguing appearance, with its distinctive pouch-like labellum resembling a lady's slipper. 4.

The intricate details of the Ladies Slipper Orchid are beautifully captured in this botanical illustration, providing an invaluable record of this rare and exquisite plant. The plate not only showcases the flower's stunning appearance but also serves as a testament to the remarkable advancements in botanical illustration during the 19th century. 6.
