The Paphiopedilum insigne

''Paphiopedilum insigne'' is an Asian species of slipper orchid and the type species of the genus ''Paphiopedilum''. Its name is derived from the Latin ''insigne'', meaning 'badge of honor' due to the magnificent flower. In the 19th century it was very popular among European and American orchid growers, causing it to become very rare in the wild due to over collecting. There are many varieties of it and hybrids with it.
