|discussion=<p><i>Carex hyalinolepis</i> is abundant in the Mississippi lowlands and often dominant in the understory of open, wet floodplain forests and bottomland meadows. It is a rapid invader of ditches and other disturbed areas. Sometimes extensive stands are seen without fertile culms.</p><!--
--><p>Occasionally, <i>Carex hyalinolepis</i> hybridizes with <i>C. pellita</i> (= C. ×subimpressa Clokey, according to A. A. Reznicek and P. M. Catling 1986), and rarely with <i>C. lacustris</i>. <i>Carex</i> ×subimpressa is sufficiently frequent that it has been treated as a species in some floras. It can form large colonies in suitable sites.</p>
