|discussion=<p>In many respects <i>Carex projecta</i> is intermediate between <i>C. cristatella</i> and <i>C. tribuloides</i>; it is sometimes difficult to distinguish from those species. However, when all three species occur together, <i>C. projecta</i> flowers and fruits first, <i>C. tribuloides</i> later, and <i>C. cristatella</i> latest of all. When <i>C. projecta</i> is in mature fruit, <i>C. cristatella</i> will be just past flowering.</p><!--
