It is restricted to the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. It is extirpated (locally extinct) throughout most of its range.[2] Calopogon oklahomensis is a perennial herb[3] with flowers that are white, pink or purple, with a labellum with an apical region of yellow hairs. Flowers bloom March to July.[2] Its habitats include coastal prairies, savannas, edges of bogs, and oak woodlands.[4] It was described by Douglas H. Goldman in 1995.[2]
