Discussion
Carex lenticularis var. lenticularis is a common shoreline species of ponds and streams in eastern North America. It can usually be distinguished from the common western taxon, var. lipocarpa, by the pale red-brown scales and lack of pigmentation on the perigynia as well as the shorter stipe; some high elevation and high latitude populations have pigmentation patterns similar to the western taxa.
