Rank Reasons
Calypso bulbosa is a perennial orchid occurring in coniferous forests, mixed forests, and bogs worldwide, in North America, Europe, and Asia. In North America, it is distributed from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and Alaska, United States, south to New York and California, and throughout the Rocky Mountains region. There are over a thousand estimated occurrences of this taxon rangewide, which are threatened by logging, climate change, herbivory, invasive plants, pollinator decline, recreation, livestock, and poaching. Little is known about trends, but with a large range extent, high number of occurrences, abundant habitat, and broad habitat preferences, Calypso bulbosa is considered secure.
Range Extent Comments
Calypso bulbosa is a circumboreal taxon, occurring in North America, Europe, and Asia (NAOCC 2025, POWO 2025). In North America, it is distributed from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and Alaska, United States, south to New York and California, and throughout the Rocky Mountains region (FNA 2002, NAOCC 2025). Range extent was estimated to be over 61 million square kilometers using herbarium specimens, photo-based observations, and NatureServe Network occurrence data collected between 1994 and 2025 (GBIF 2025, iNaturalist 2025, NatureServe 2025, RARECAT 2025, SEINet 2025). See individual entries for distribution details about the two varieties in North America.
Occurrences Comments
By applying a 1 km separation distance to herbarium specimens, photo-based observations, and NatureServe Network occurrence data documented between 1994 and 2025, it is estimated that there are over a thousand occurrences rangewide (GBIF 2025, iNaturalist 2025, NatureServe 2025, RARECAT 2025, SEINet 2025).
Threat Impact Comments
In North America, Calypso bulbosa is primarily threatened by loss of habitat due to logging (NatureServe 2025). Additional threats to the species include climate change-related increases to average annual temperatures, winter and summer temperatures, and growing season length, as well as deer browse, slug herbivory, invasive plants, pollinator decline, recreation, trampling by livestock, and poaching (NatureServe 2025).
Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

In North America, Calypso bulbosa occurs in wet, moist, mesic, and dry shady coniferous forests, mixed forests, and bogs from 0-3100 m in elevation (FNA 2002). It is principally associated with Thuja oxidentalis, often found growing in the shaded duff with little or no herbaceous competition (Caljouw 1981).

Ecology

Calypso bulbosa is apparently intolerant of soil temperatures in excess of 15 C and of canopy cover less than 60% (Caljouw 1981).

Reproduction

Calypso bulbosa grows primarily in the fall and early spring, blooming from late May to late June (Mousely 1924). The evergreen, solitary leaf, emerges in late August, overwinters, and shrivels soon after blooming. Capsules are set in June and July, and soon after there may be no visible signs of this species.
