|discussion=<p><i>Carex</i> cocinnoides is the only North American sedge with four stigmas per pistil. It is most similar to <i>C. richardsonii</i>; differs in its more closely aggregated, short-pedunculate pistillate spikes with very short-sheathing bracts. These close relatives are sympatric only at the northern and eastern edge of the range of <i>C. concinnoides</i>.</p>
