COSEWIC Assessment and Status Report on the Small White Lady's-slipper Cypripedium candidum in Canada THREATENED 2014 COSEWIC status reports are working documents used in assigning the status of wildlife species suspected of being at risk. [...] Update COSEWIC status report on the small white lady's-slipper Cypripedium candidum in Canada, in COSEWIC assessment and update status report on the small white lady's-slipper Cypripedium candidum in Canada. [...] Because of the potential for extended below-ground dormancy, and because the number of flowering stems varies among individuals, there is a high degree of uncertainty associated with estimates of Small White Lady's-slipper abundance and therefore population trends are difficult to assess. [...] Most subpopulations are not adequately protected, either due to lack of awareness (often due to changes in land ownership/management) or lack of information and resources to manage habitat for the benefit of Small White Lady's-slipper. [...] COSEWIC MANDATE The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) assesses the national status of wild species, subspecies, varieties, or other designatable units that are considered to be at risk in Canada.
