Most of the records of Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum from New York are likely C. p. var. makasin and therefore the current distribution of these two taxa in the Atlas is clearly inaccurate. In New York Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum appears to be restricted to southeastern New York (and perhaps south-central New York) while C. p. var. makasin occurs throughout most of the state excluding at least parts of southeastern New York (Sheviak 2002).
