prominent claw, broadly oblong-elliptic, pandurate or 
obovate (rarely cuneate) and rounded, obtuse or acute, 
widest above the middle, with the upper margin often 
irregularly crenulate, 10-13 (averaging 11) mm. long, 
4—6 mm. wide above the middle. Lip obscurely 3-lobed, 
8-9.5 mm. long; lateral lobes more distinct than in the 
species, basal, broadly rounded, separated from the mid- 
lobe by a short isthmus which has parallel sides; mid-lobe 
triangular-deltoid, with a wide slightly rounded-truncate 
or retuse apex (occasionally apiculate), with essentially 
straight (not rounded) lateral margins, 8-10 mm. wide; 
disc bearded on the central portion with clavellate (often 
bifurcate) hairs, the long hairs near the base bright yel- 
low, the shorter central hairs orange and the anterior 
hairs (not reaching the apical margin) gradually reduced 
to purple papillae. Column 5.5—7 mm. long, broadly wing- 
ed on each side near the apex, 4.5—6 mm. wide across 
the wings; the pair of wings when spread out semiorbicu- 
lar, subtruncate at the base. 
ComMMENTs: Calopogon barbatus and C. barbatus var. 
multiflorus intergrade in all of their floral segments. How- 
ever, var. multiflorus, besides having more flowers in the 
raceme than does the species, also has petals which are 
constantly widest above the middle, whereas those of the 
species are constantly widest below the middle. 
Hasirat: Acid soils; most commonly found in re- 
cently burnt-over damp sandy pinelands; also found in 
flatwoods, pine-barrens, among saw palmettos,on the edge 
of hammocks and in swampy fields or grassy savannahs. 
FLOWERING SEASON: Early March (rarely February) 
to July. 
ILLUsTRATION: Ames Contribution to Our Knowl- 
edge of the Orchid Flora of Southern Florida (1904) pl. 
10 (as C. multiflorus).
