|discussion=<p>Plants from the south of the species range and from lower elevations northward are usually more robust and have more inflated, ovoid perigynia than northern or high-elevation plants. The latter are sometimes distinguished as <i>Carex intumescens</i> <i></i>var.<i> fernaldii</i> L. H. Bailey.</p>
