Description
Yellow Lady's-Slipper (Cypripedium calceolus)
Cypripedium parviflorum, commonly known as Yellow Lady's Slipper, Mocassin Flower, or Hairy Yellow Ladyslipper is a Lady's Slipper orchid found in North America
The native Yellow Lady's Slipper is an uncommon plant. Habitats include moist to dry deciduous woodlands, sandy woodlands and savannas, thinly wooded bluffs along rivers, wooded slopes, and forested bogs. The size of local populations can increase in response to fallen trees from windstorms, or occasional wildfires, as this reduces excessive shade from woody vegetation. Some authorities regard this orchid as a native variety of Cypripedium calceolus, which occurs in Eurasia. Under this system of classification, its scientific name is Cypripedium calceolus pubescens.
