Comments
Usually readily identified by its compressed culms, tall stature, and congested inflorescences. Varieties of Coleataenia rigidula have generally not been recognized in Virginia studies, and the current distribution map for this var. is incomplete; it is likely much more widespread in the Coastal Plain than indicated. See comments under Coleataenia rigidula ssp. rigidula.

Depression ponds, interdune swales and ponds, maritime swamps, tidal freshwater and oligohaline marshes, beaver ponds, and ditches. Frequent in the maritime and estuarine zones of the Coastal Plain; infrequent elsewhere in the Coastal Plain; disjunct to Augusta County in the central Ridge and Valley region.
