So you went here, and searched for Cypripedioideae:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Nucleotide

At the top of the page, choose "Fasta" instead of "Summary", increase 
the number of records if you like, use the "Send To" drop down menu and 
pick "file".  Your web browser should then ask you where to save this 
fasta file.

The NBCI webpages do change every so often, but its usually fairly clear 
how to save the data to file...
