[1][2] Spiranthes triloba plants have up to 5 basal leaves that can sometimes be wilted by the time they are flowering.

Spiranthes triloba is endemic to Florida and prefers frequently burned prairies.

This habitat is distinct from that of Spiranthes odorata which prefers flooded forests.

M. C. Pace conducted a phylogenetic and morphological study in 2016 and reinstantiated it as a separate species under Schumann's original name.
