Cypripedium calceolus is a lady's-slipper orchid, and the type species of the genus Cypripedium.
It has a widespread distribution from Europe east through Asia to the Pacific Ocean and is typically is found in open woodland on moist calcareous soils. In continental Europe it is also found growing in the decomposed humus of semi-shaded woodland cover on limestone. It has declined over much of the European part of its range, and as a result is legally protected in a number of countries.
