|discussion=<p><i>Carex gholsonii</i> is very similar to <i>C. granularis</i> (and to the Mexican and Central American C. atractodes F. J. Hermann and C. quichensis F. J. Hermann). The plants are less densely tufted than in <i>C. granularis</i> and produce more evident rhizomes. They have darker, green foliage, relatively short ligules and bracts, and pedunculate staminate spikes. The well-formed perigynia are broadly spindle-shaped with flattish sides and straight margins, cuneate toward the base and broadly tapered at the apex. In <i>C. granularis</i>, the perigynia are usually smaller, nearly or quite terete, convex-rounded toward the base, and short-tapering or rounded at the more abruptly beaked apex.</p>
