|discussion=<p><i>Rhynchospora globularis </i>var.<i> globularis</i> is the most common of the three varieties sharing habitat, particularly disturbed ones, over much of its range with the similarly ubiquitous <i>R. recognita</i>. The differences between the two, once considered co-variants, are striking. Rhynschospora globularis <i></i></i>var.<i><i> globularis</i> shows slender, mostly radiately spreadingascending, lax, comparatively shortleaved culms; its sparser, less leafybracteate clusters have smaller, rounder, darker spikelets. Associated <i>R. recognita</i> is obviously taller, stouter, stiffer, and longer-leaved; its dense spikelet clusters are bristly with exserted-tipped subulate bracts; its spikelets are longer in narrower outline; and it is distinctively red-brown, almost orangebrown.</p>
