--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>colonial; rhizomes long-creeping. <b>Culms</b> central, slender, trigonous, 40–90 cm, smooth, with marcescent remains of previous year’s leaves at base. <b>Leaves</b>: basal sheaths brownish and tattered on fertile culms, reddish purple on youngest culms, apex glabrous; ligules 1.8–12.5 mm; blades green, M-shaped, often ± septate-nodulose, 2.6–5(–6) mm wide, smooth abaxially, glabrous. <b>Inflorescences</b> 9–35(–45) cm; peduncle of terminal spike (2–)3.5–15 cm; rachis beyond the proximal pistillate spikes sharp-angled, finely scabrous; proximal 1–2 spikes pistillate, not or barely overlapping, ascending; distal spikes erect; terminal 1–3 spikes staminate. <b>Pistillate</b> scales lanceolate to ovate, acute to acuminate, sometimes ± smooth-awned to 1.1 mm, glabrous. <b>Perigynia</b> ascending, 14–22-veined, ovoid, 3.9–7 × 2–3.3 mm, glabrous or densely pubescent; beak 0.5–1.3 mm, bidentulate, teeth straight, 0.1–0.6 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Southward from New Jersey, plants of Carex striata often have increasingly pubescent perigynia; northern, glabrous plants of that cline have been called C. striata var. brevis (A. A. Reznicek and P. M. Catling 1986b).</p><!--
--><p>Exceptionally robust plants of Carex striata with glabrous perigynia may key to C. hyalinolepis, from which they can be distinguished by their broadly ovoid perigynia, smooth-margined pistillate scales, and green leaves.</p>
