|discussion=<p><i>Carex nebrascensis</i> is a common low- to mid-elevation western species that is morphologically somewhat similar to <i>C. aquatilis</i>; it differs in the obovoid, distended, veined perigynia with a bidentate beak and the awned scales. The amphistomatous leaves of the species are glabrous and often glaucous even when mature. Cattle frequently graze on <i>C. nebrascensis</i>.</p><!--
