|discussion=<p><i>Carya glabra</i> is a highly polymorphic species. Tight-barked trees bearing large pear-shaped fruits are common along the Gulf Coast (<i>C. glabra</i> var. megacarpa and C. leiodermis, C. magnifloridana). Trees with exfoliating bark, reddish petioles, and small, compressed, ellipsoid fruits that dehisce to the base (i.e., <i>C. ovalis</i>) are more common at higher latitudes. <i>Carya glabra</i> intergrades with <i>C. floridana</i>, <i>C. pallida</i>, and <i>C. texana</i>, and it is reported to hybridize with the diploid <i>C. cordiformis</i> (C. ×demareei Palmer). The extreme northern ovalis form of the species also appears to hybridize with the typical glabra in areas of sympatry.</p>
