|discussion=<p>Carex schottii may be a member of the C. stricta subgroup; it requires additional study. The bladeless, scabrous, ladder-fibrillose sheaths of proximal leaves and the hypostomic leaves indicate a relationship with the group, but the elongate inflorescence bract, 3–4 staminate spikes, and the broad leaves are unique within the group.</p>
