|discussion=<p>The red-dotted perigynia of <i>Carex triangularis</i> separates the species from all other taxa in the section; however, it is similar to <i>C. annectens</i> in the relative lengths of leaves and flowering stems, and in the yellow-brown, ovate perigynia that are larger and broader than in <i>C. annectens</i>.</p>
