Cypripedium candidum, also known as the small white lady's slipper or white lady's slipper, is a rare orchid native to eastern North America. It can be found in alkaline wetlands and fens, and blooms from late May to early June. This species is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and changes in hydrology. It is also at risk due to low seed set and collecting for cultivation. Efforts are being made to protect and monitor this species, including prescribed burning and brush removal to manage woody encroachment.
