|discussion=<p><i>Calopogon multiflorus</i> is nearly extirpated outside of central Florida.</p><!--
--><p>Distinctive features of <i>Calopogon multiflorus</i> are the purple rachis, forked corm, strong floral fragrance, pandurate petals, and a lip usually as wide or wider than long. Although previously considered to be a variety of <i>Calopogon barbatus</i> (D. S. Correll 1940), <i>C. multiflorus</i> is readily distinguished from that species and all other <i>Calopogon</i> species by its features. The biology of <i>C. multiflorus</i> has been discussed in detail by D. H. Goldman and S. L. Orzell (2000).</p>
