|discussion=<p>Specimens of plants from western Louisiana reported as <i>Calopogon pallidus</i> (A. M. Pridgeon and L. E. Urbatsch 1977) are actually <i>C. oklahomensis</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Natural hybrids of <i>Calopogon multiflorus</i> and <i>C. pallidus</i> have been observed in central Florida, and collections of other such hybrids are known from peninsular Florida (D. H. Goldman 2000; D. H. Goldman and L. S. Orzell 2000).</p><!--
--><p><i>Calopogon pallidus</i> is distinguished by its relatively widely spaced flowers in a long spike, one to three flowers opening simulataneously, lateral sepals typically falcate and reflexed, and petals entire to barely obpandurate and falcate. The blooming period is longer, and <i>C. pallidus</i> flowers later than all species of <i>Calopogon</i>, with the exception of <i>C. tuberosus</i>.</p>
