|discussion=<p>A common sedge of the central Rocky Mountains, <i>Carex scopulorum </i>var.<i> bracteosa</i> is distinguished from <i></i>var.<i> scopulorum</i> by the scabrous stems and sheaths and by the narrower, more ellipsoid perigynia. It is usually distinguishable from <i></i>var.<i> prionophylla</i> by the absence of bladeless, ladder-fibrillose sheaths; the two taxa may be difficult to identify in areas where both occur.</p>
