|discussion=<p><i>Carex eleusinoides</i> is a member of the C. acuta complex based on amphistomic and amphi-papillose leaves, perigynia that are stipitate and basally distended by the achenes, and chromosome number. It differs from other western members of the group by distinctly red basal sheaths, and by absence of distinct veins on very small perigynia.</p>
