Similar in many ways to the other slipper orchids, the Paphiopedilums, Phragmipedium is a very popular genus that was establishing by Robert Rolfe in 1896 when he revised all the slipper orchids. Those species native to the tropical Americas were places in other Selenipedium or Phragmipedium. Rolfe named the genus, using the Greek words phragma (fence) in reference to the division of the ovary and pedilon (slipper).
As with the other slipper orchids, the species of this genus are sympodial in growth habit and form tight fans instead of pseudobulbs.
