Discussion
Most specimens of Carex debilis var. debilis have glabrous perigynia, but those with pubescent perigynia occur sporadically through the eastern part of its range, usually in mixed populations with the glabrous form. This southern variety extends north along the coastal plain to Nantucket Island, Massachusetts and occurs sporadically in Michigan and Ohio along with other coastal plain disjuncts. Occasional sterile hybrids with C. venusta have been confirmed in Florida, North Carolina, and New Jersey and observed in South Carolina and Virginia.
