Calanthe cardioglossa, the heart-lipped calanthe, is a terrestrial orchid species. It was first described in 1906 by Rudolf Schlechter. The species name "cardioglossa" comes from the Greek words "kardia" (heart) and "glossa" (tongue), referring to the heart-shaped base of its lip.
Calanthe cardioglossa is widely distributed across Thailand, particularly common in the northern and eastern regions. It is also found in Indochina, including Laos and Vietnam (Dalat). This species is terrestrial, found in humus and soil in evergreen and deciduous forests. It can also be found as a lithophyte, growing among limestone boulders. The species thrives at elevations ranging from 300 to 1,640 meters.
