Discussion
Although extensively intergrading along the Arctic coast, Carex aquatilis var. minor and var. aquatilis appear to be distinct; C. aquatilis var. minor has been reported to maintain its distinctive characteristics in cultivation (J. Cayouette and P. Morisset 1986b). It is reported to hybridize with C. bigelowii (= C. ×nearctica M. Raymond).
