A type of plant, also called a bishop's cap, with distinctive cap-shaped flowers or seed pods.
From 'bishop's cap,' a compound name referring to the resemblance of the plant's structure to a bishop's ceremonial headwear (mitre).
Plant names often use this pattern of naming by appearance—'lady's slipper' and 'priest's collar' show how botanists relied on comparing plants to familiar objects from their everyday world.
