'^ The Calceolus Mariae of some of the older authors meaning Cypri- 

 pedium Calceolus Linn, may have been used as a generico- specific binary 

 name, e. g. Dodonaeus, 2:1:22; (1588); Lobelius Obs. p. 161, (1576). 

 Hence the genus is referred to Tournefort. The name Calceolus Mariae 

 Mary's Slipper, Our Lady's Slipper was changed by Linnaeus to Cypriped- 

 dium, meaning Venus' vSlipper. By another unfortunate circumstance the 

 segregate Fissipes Small, means cloven foot. It is scarcely possible that 

 the genus were dedicated to his satanic majesty, but rather named because 

 the flower of the plant has the inflated sac like petal cleft in front. The name, 

 however, might certainly with more advertance to previous circum- 

 stances have been better chosen.
