Comments: Seed was collected from the donor's private property in Towns County, Georgia, USA, where the number of plants was sufficient enough as not to degrade the wild population. On the property, the Cypripedium acaule is always found in well drained, south facing pine/laurel thickets where there is an opening in the forest canopy. They seem to prefer elevations between 1900-2500 feet.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: This orchid is very widely distributed from northeastern
Alberta into the Northwest Territories in Canada southeastward across
southeastern Canada to Newfoundland and across the northern midwest in the
U. S., including the Great Lakes region, all of the northeastern U. S to
the Atlantic coast, and along the eastern seaboard from Maine to as far
south as northeastern Georgia. Over this wide range, there are two types
of habitat. The first is in high and dry woods which often are on sandy
soil. The second is in somewhat boggy conditions, usually with some type
of sphagnum nearby. The two constants common in these two habitats are
shade and very acid soil. Otherwise, there is a wide range in temperature
and moisture levels in the differing climatic zones.
