It is common among Lady s Slipper orchid s Cypripedioideae that the two lateral sepals are connate to form a synsepal in the outer whorl. This is located directly behind the pouch orchids pouch , opposite the upward pointing dorsal sepal. Synsepals may be bifid , i.e. divided into two equal lobes, or forked and divided in two by a deep cleft. Category Plant morphology Category Orchids ... more details

It is Endemism endemic to California , where it is known from the forests and woodlands of the northern and central Sierra Nevada U.S. Sierra Nevada foothills . This is an erect annual herb with linear to lance shaped leaves each a few centimeters long. The inflorescence produces opening flowers and buds which are closed except for the tips, where the sepal s do not fuse. The sepal s all separate or remain fused in pairs as the flower blooms. Each fan shaped petal is up to 3 centimeters long and is usually lavender with a white area and a purple spot in the middle. The petals are occasionally solid deep red.
