|discussion=<p>Variety repens resembles var. illustris in having long, pubescent sepals. It is often a relatively small plant ascending from a horizontal rhizome, although the upper end of its size range is large, and its leaves are smaller than those of var. illustris. The few Oklahoma collections that appear to be best placed within this variety are confined to McCurtain County in the extreme southeast of the state, where the two varieties may intergrade.</p>
